Five provocative and surprising one-act plays about all manner of need, love, and survival.  'Kermit Frazier is one of the most underrated, under-the-radar African American playwrights of his generation.... [His] plays are both lyrical and richly theatrical. And while they typically deal unflinchingly with the landscape of African American life and the socio-political issues of that life, the scope of his work ranges far beyond that culture.'Woodie King, Jr., Producing Director, New Federal TheatreDINAH WASHINGTON IS DEADTwo Black Air Force officers struggle to cope with isolation and longing in West Texas.  'Frazier has a perceptive feel for the rhythms of battle between lovers.... This is a beautifully shaped play...'Damien Jaques, Milwaukee JournalCLASS REUNIONThree Black former high school classmates meet in a mind-twisting, revelatory reunion.  '...[a] relentlessly haunting piece of writing. ...a bizarrely beautiful work that, like life, is better equipped with questions than with answers.'Joseph Hurley, Other StagesTHE EXTERMINATORAn elderly white woman strives to survive through memory, hope, and strange visitations in a seemingly contentious urban landscape.A BIRD’S EYE VIEWTwo Black male figures search for purpose and companionship in a disruptive, destructive, principally white world.ELSEIn the frightening, chaotic early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, a Black mother and daughter come together both to grieve and to search for reconciliation.

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
