Winner of Chicago's Jeff Award for Best New Work of 2024-25.
Judith Benson is "teacher-famous" for the award-winning student newspaper she proudly oversees at her small Indiana high school, a program that extols truth and integrity in journalism. But when a swastika is spray-painted on her room display celebrating marriage equality, everything Judith believes about inspiring the next generation of reporters, and the definition of truth itself, is called into question. This thought-provoking and timely play that feels very necessary right now! RSVP HERE

PEEPHOLE
By Patricia Moss. Directed by Frank Licato.
Starring Sean Church-Gonzalez, Nick Hardin, and Mia Vallet featuring Sean Hannon (staged directions)
When an isolated young white female artist- Linda- is mugged outside her apartment by Michael - a young Puerto Rican/Spanish/American male artist battling drug addiction, their encounter sets off unexpected consequences. Vano, the mysterious older self-proclaimed "King of the Gypsies," breaks into Linda's apartment where all three are forced to reckon with unanswered inner demons. In the crumbling magical landscape of 1974 New York City, the dark Spanish/Gypsy spirit of Flamenco is metaphorically set on fire. RSVP HERE
