GOVERNMENT
BY NINA KISSINGER
DIRECTED
BY
SARAH NORRIS
It’s summer in Washington, DC and three congressional interns are fielding constituent calls before yet another workplace lockdown begins.
While everyone outside investigates a suspicious red Camry, they find themselves stuck in the one place no one has ever wanted to work overtime: the US government.
A comedy with heart, This is Government grapples with the real-time consequences of political disarray.

A PALESTINIAN WOMAN’S PURSUIT OF LIFE, LIBERTY & HAPPINESS
WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY HEND AYOUB

In Israel, she’s Palestinian. In the Arab world, she’s Israeli. In America, she’s an “other.”
Through a panoply of vivid characters including her five-yearold self, an Egyptian casting director, her dying mother, and many others, Home? follows the true story of Hend Ayoub’s journey to define her identity and find a place where she belongs.

Dreadful Episodes is a hilarious and virtuosic theatrical collage adorned with live music and physical comedy, inspired by the illustrations of Edward Gorey, Victorian reverie, ill-fated romance, calamitous croquet, and the dangers of windy cliffs. Join us this autumn when the veil is thin to enjoy all things witty and macabre.

A unique showcase of 15 New York shows headed to Scotland for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the largest arts festival in the world).
East to Edinburgh was created as a way to help shows get on their feet so companies experience the same production constraints that all shows experience during the Fringe, while giving companies a clean, comfortable, and nurturing space to fine-tune their productions.
Visit our website for the full lineup of East to Edinburgh shows!

THIS MUCH I KNOW
BY JONATHAN SPECTOR
DIRECTED BY HAYLEY FINN
WITH FIRDOUS BAMJI, ETHAN J. MILLER, AND DANI STOLLER
A psychology professor’s search for his missing wife launches us on a time-hopping fugue, weaving together the stories of Stalin’s daughter defecting to America, the son of a white supremacist growing to doubt the beliefs he was raised with, and the secret despair of becoming an accidental killer.
Inspired by the book Thinking, Fast and Slow by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman about the science of decisionmaking, Jonathan Spector takes us on an explosively theatrical interrogation of how we make decisions, how we change our minds, and how much responsibility we bear for the things we do not control.
