Marsha Blovotnik is angry. So angry! The whole world is fakakte, but for this Leftie Jewish Lesbian, it’s her sister Janice who really burns her tuchus. Janice invites herself over for Shabbos dinner and then shows up three minutes early. Who does that?!?
Just before her sister arrives, a mysterious ancestor gives Marsha a pot of magical chicken soup with the power to cure the world of its woes — if only Marsha can cool down enough to share a bowl of soup with her sister.
A buoyant, crackling comedy about how to live in a dumpster fire.

Hossam and Rachel’s dog, Albert, has been acting strange––growling, lashing out, running away––but why?! Hossam is an arts journalist (recently fired), and Rachel is an optometrist (her eyes are on Gaza), they have a loving home!
In search of answers, the couple consults a pet therapist. According to her, Albert’s altered behavior has more to do with the political climate. He’s a conservative. As tensions sizzle at home, the three are pulled into a maelstrom with deadly consequences. Slay, a world premiere play by Yussef El Guindi, is a quick-witted dark comedy about the absurd nature of our times. And the complicated nature of pet ownership.

Brendan Healy is like a trick birthday candle: his flame just won’t blow out. Diagnosed with a terminal illness as a baby, he was supposed to die by age 5, then 8, then 16, and on and on. Somehow, he can’t get to the dying part! Now, he invites you to a memorial service like no other, sharing a lifetime of experience navigating the healthcare system, managing love and student loans, and planning his own funeral… with tips for yours, too! A warm, heartfelt comedy about mortality, survival, and joie de vivre.
