Who gets to decide if a woman has children, and for whom? A comedy about reproductive rights and the environment. For years Martin is thought to be the last frog of his species, living alone in an amphibian lab, under the observation of a scientist eager to make her name in the field. Fate strikes and Esther is discovered living by herself in the rain forest, the last female frog. She is captured and brought to the lab, instructed that her duty will be to mate with Martin, reproduce, and save their species. Esther won’t have it. She has never wanted to be a mother, or have children, nor felt it wise given the dangerous world they find themselves. She is determined, with the help of some lizards, to regain her freedom and to live her life as she pleases. And maybe free Martin to finally live as a frog, not a research subject.

  • 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 ...

    Julie Marie Myatt
       “BOATS ON A RIVER, a new play by Julie Marie Myatt, can be distinguished both by what it is and by what it is not.   What it is, is a play by an American playwright that reaches beyond the borders of this country, to examine life in other parts of the world and to use that examination as a prism to reflect back on our own culture. In that regard, it is a singularly refreshin...

    Julie Marie Myatt
       “…In returning to a familiar theme, the wandering away from and abandonment of small town America to seek fortune and enlightenment, Myatt scores by unusually and effectively staying with those who have been left behind rather than with the one who has left. The result is a beautifully written reflection on time and place, and the inconstancy of love and loss.…    The play f...
