Play | New Play from Kennedy Center-Featured Writer: We the People of these Fifty Acre Woods
Inspired by A.A. Milne's classic characters, the beloved 100 Acre Wood is in the midst of a civil war. Throughout this multi-year conflict, childhood friends Winnie, Christopher, and H.P. Piglet find themselves on different paths. H.P. struggles with the moral dilemmas of being a soldier, Christopher discovers what can happen when the powerless gain power, and Winnie is on the run for dodging the draft. Part war epic, part whimsical absurdism, this play looks at how people justify violence, the lengths you'll go to defend what you believe in and if fire is fought with fire - will the acres just burn to the ground?

Play | Award-Winning Comedy-Drama Play from Italy: Like an Octopus in a Guitar
When the protagonist of Like an Octopus in a Guitar decides that he no longer wants to leave the house, he develops an obsession with death and begins to spend his days imagining his funeral. A funny and absurd journey inside the mind of an individual who is slowly losing his memories, where the actors’ bodies become a metaphor and instrument for remembering. In this suspended world, where even the names of the characters have been forgotten, dreams and reality merge to tell the story of a man’s internal battle. A battle between the desire to heal and the temptation to remain, forever, playing with death. Playwright: Marco Ziello Directors: Licia Amarante and Marco Ziello Cast: Annachiara Castorino, Gerardo D’Amato, Francesco Del Gaudio, Sabrina La Regina, Paola Santamaria, Marco Ziello In Italian with English subtitles.

Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Molière's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor
Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren’t we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him? The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Molière wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. It explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, original music by cellist Johnathan Moore, and stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sahr Ngaujah. Director and Translator: Lucie Tiberghien Choreographer and Dancer: Cal Hunt Composer and Cellist: Johnathan Moore Cast: Dante Bonner, Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JePaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Shayvawn Webster
