Alice in Shadowland
by Lucky Dang
February 12 - March 21, 2027
Ever wonder why Alice could always keep up with the inhabitants of Wonderland? Alice in Shadowland follows the White Rabbit through a world built from light and shadow by projection artists Shadow Girls Cult. The cast of circus artists recount the journey through the White Rabbit's perspective as he rushes to the Red Queen, yet continues to find himself just as distracted by his colleagues and the curious girl chasing after him. The encounters are re-envisioned as circus aerial and acrobatic acts along with various interactions with the shadow projections cast upon them. The journey culminates with an audience with the Red Queen, where she lays judgement on Alice and we follow her escape.
FUSELAGE
by Annie Lareau
Directed by Makaela Milburn
March 12 - April 4, 2027
Actor and playwright, Annie Lareau, along with local favorites Brenda Joyner and Peter Dylan O’Connor, explore her time surrounding the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Instead of being on the flight with 35 of her classmates and close friends from Syracuse University as she intended, she was left behind in London. With a mixture of humor and compassion, Annie's narrative of the budding lives of young artists is intertwined with voices from those in Lockerbie who tended to the crash, set against the ticking clock of prophetic nightmares and a terrorist plot. Her narrative is a love story to cherishing relationships in this fragile and unpredictable world, deeply connecting us to her journey through the bombing, the lonely debilitating grief, her brushes with overwhelming international media attention, and the self-punishment she battled in the aftermath.

The Ballad of the Unfallen
by Maggie Lee
May 14 - June 6, 2027
In a distant land of swords and steel, twenty-five years have passed since the end of the War of the Divide between the Kaji and the Tsuka clans that tore the country apart. Tensions are now rising again as the new generation seeks to awaken the old rivalries and reclaim their heritage.
Up in the mountains at the Temple of the Lightning Eel, a legendary school for the fighting arts, a safe haven exists where their students can ignore the growing turmoil of the outside world. But when a desperate young woman surviving an unthinkable tragedy seeks refuge at the temple, the delicate illusion of neutrality is shattered and plunges them all into the heart of the conflict. All the while, an earnest bard struggles to record the truth of the events through her song but is faced with the harsh reality that history is shaped by whoever shouts the loudest.
The Ballad of the Unfallen, a new play with music and movement, is about loyalty, connection, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds, asking the question, “Can anyone ever truly choose not to take a side?”
