Wicked Bitter Beasts, staged reading by Kira Rockwell
Estranged from her pastoral family, Zoey is a prodigal daughter on the run from her Evangelical past and the Hellmouth she must fight her way through. An unruly parable that reverberates through time, space, and realms, beckoning you to face the wicked bitter beast(s) in your own life, especially the one looking back in the mirror.

The Moors
by Jen Silverman
A hopeful governess arrives at a remote mansion on the English Moors after exchanging romantic correspondence with the compelling Mr. Branwell. But when she enters, the only residents appear to be Branwell's two spinster sisters, a maid (or is it two maids?), and a despondent dog. No man to be found, nor child to be cared for. A wild story which simultaneously embraces and satirizes the Gothic lit genre, honors the enduring legacy of the Bronte Sisters, feels contemporary and historic all at once, and most important, explores the terrifying human desire to be intimately seen and known.

Great Expectations
Written Charles Dickens
Adapted by Gale Childs Daly
Pip, an orphan boy, has a life-changing encounter one day which starts him on a journey to adulthood full of adventure, excitement, humor, horror, obsession, and passion. It's a bittersweet story of ambition and becoming... falsehoods and misperceptions... devotion and heartbreak... loyalty and forgiveness... surprises and epiphanies... loss and redemption... and of learning what it takes to come of age in a world far more complicated than imagined.
