Isadora finds the strength to stand up to her abusive husband Septimo when he forces the very pregnant Yolot to stay against her will. While Septimo makes plans for the baby, Isadora and Yolot devise one of their own. And as a pack of wolves closes in on the hacienda, Isadora must decide what price she’ll pay for her own freedom. Wolf at the Door is part of a cycle of fairy tales Marisela Treviño Orta is writing inspired by Latino folklore and mythology.'A beautifully told Mesoamerican fairy tale... a story of self-deliverance and empowerment of those who survive.' - Theater Jones'Absorbing... Wolf at the Door tells a magical story in a straightforward way, evoking the harsh realities of life with brutal honesty.' - NJArts'Racked with pain... Marisela Trevino Orta... has fashioned a message drama around a more ethereal reverie about the afterlife, nature and the definition of evil.' - Dallas Voice'A magical tale of those who are subject to tyrannical rule seeking freedom through the bond they have as women and as heirs to the wildness of nature. Wolf at the Door takes us through the darkness of the soul and offers us hope.' - The Column Online'This riveting and resonant fairy tale is definitely for grownups... Orta’s script develops the characters well beyond fairy tale tropes... they become fully fleshed-out beings, with backstories that matter. Particularly resounding is the theme of women banding together against a man who’s kept them down.' - The Oregonian

  • 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 ...
