Macbitches
by Sophie McIntosh
When a first-year college student is unexpectedly given the coveted role of Lady Macbeth, a few classmates have her over to celebrate her casting and reassert their positions at the top of the theatre department’s hierarchy. As the party develops, the students unleash their inhibitions while discovering the power structures that have shaped their theatrical education.

Shakespeare's R & J
by Joe Calarco
A bold reinterpretation of Shakespeare's classic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Set in a strict Catholic boarding school, the play follows four students who secretly perform the forbidden text of Romeo and Juliet. Initially, the students take turns reading the play aloud and soon they are swept away, enmeshed in the emotion so much that they break school rules in order to continue their readings. Perceptions and understanding are turned upside-down as the fun of play-acting turns serious, and the words and meanings begin to hit home and universal truths emerge. The four students grapple with their own emerging identities and desires, challenging societal norms and authority figures in the process

The Moors
by Jen Silverman
A young governess arrives at a remote manor after exchanging semi-romantic correspondence with one mysterious Mr. Branwell. But when the door opens, the only residents of the house seem to be Branwell's two sisters, a maid (or maybe two maids?) and a lovelorn mastiff. And no man to be found, or child to be cared for. An inspired, whimsical satire that both embraces and sends up the gothic musings of the Brontë sisters.
