Our 2024-2025 Season.
We’re thrilled to announce the theme of our next season: Vice/Virtue. We will be exploring questions of sin, goodness, indulgence, repentance and repugnance in plays by Tennessee Williams and William Shakespeare, as well as contemporary writers.​
Cried the Phoenix
An Evening of Tennessee Williams Short Plays.
10/30 - 11/2 | Doxsee Theater
Join us in Sunset Park from October 30th to November 2nd for a fundraiser showing of four to five plays at the Doxsee Theater.
November 2nd is The Special and Wonderful Night, with schmoozing, banjo playing, and a celebration to follow the show. ​ ​
Ours will be a carnivalesque presentation of a few short rarely staged plays by the great Tennessee Williams about love, sex, longing, writing, losing, women, men, people, criminality, poverty, sinking, singing, railroads, D.H. Lawrence, Anton Chekhov, children, movies, theater, poetry, New Orleans, New York City, and America. Between each play will be various remarkable acts, in the spirit of a traveling show. This production is a celebration of the theater, particularly the low-budget and the dimestore-bizarre which reaches––often wretchedly––towards truth. As Williams tells us: “The biologist will tell you that progress is the result of mutations. Mutations are another word for freaks. For God's sake let's have a little more freakish behavior––not less…In my opinion art is a kind of anarchy, and the theater is a province of art.”These shows are fundraiser events, meaning they are lower-budget than our main-stage presentations, but made with the same fearlessness which defines all our work.
