Overwater
Written by Chamberlain Bauman
Directed by Elias Bernstein
February 5th-7th
A young songwriter redownloads TikTok, fueled by a lost mutual connection and a desire to be seen. As he ventures back into the digital world, his desire to romanticize and rationalize his fateful decision transforms the trappings of the app into something more like a romantic painting of a Greek myth. All-powerful algorithms become actual gods; users in the endless stream of content become alluring nymphs wading through actual streams. As he’s lured deeper in and further from reality, the voices of familiar characters and strange creatures question the feasibility of maintaining his authenticity, his dignity, and his sense of self.

Blacque anthologies
Directed by r☆! w (rai)
Devised by crzooli & the Company
February 19th-21st
Living in a hellscape of a world that we built brick by brick, these black actors will explore and demystify questions about what makes them who they are and the structures/experiences that have shaped them into the people they are today. This performance art piece will be entirely devised by the cast and interdisciplinary findings are encouraged (dance, singing, poetry, etc). It will consist of 3 sections: what the system is, our experiences within said system, and our reckoning with it today. Taking personal experiences into account, this performance is meant to salve the burn of America’s misfortunes. This is not a piece about struggle, but yet, the diamond that comes out of the flame. What is left when we shed the layers of western, “normalized”, and conventional thought? Who are we without our labels? Do we seek reparations, understanding, a safe space, or merely for a listening ear? These are all questions this piece and the room I intend to create will grapple with. Something beautifully and authentically made, by us for us.

Different Strokes

Directed by Aiden Castillo

A play that dives deep into masculinity, queerness, brotherhood, and what it means to be young and not know what questions to ask the world around you.
When a high school swim team's brotherhood is threatened by a new swimmer's arrival, the boys and those surrounding them have to reckon with questions of sexuality, what they mean to each other, and where they find purpose.
