    Cooped up on maternity leave and starved for conversation, Jessie invites her funny and forthright neighbor Lina, also a new mom, for coffee on the patio between their duplexes. Despite their vastly different finances, they become fast friends during naptimes—while someone spies on them from the mansion on the cliff overlooking Jessie’s yard. This comedy with dark edges takes an honest look at the absurdities of being home with a baby, the dilemma of returning to work, and how class impacts parenthood and friendship. Learn More

    Intrigue, espionage and forbidden romance abound in this tale based on the true story of Ensign Jack Kennedy's romance with suspected Nazi agent and former Miss Denmark, Inga Arvad. When rumors about their tryst began to circulate around wartime Washington in 1942, the FBI was soon on the case. Based on declassified files that were held in secret for more than 50 years, this play is a fictional and farcical romp through this steamy footnote in American history. Learn More

    A family gathers for Thanksgiving in Vermont just as they always gather for Thanksgiving in Vermont. Some of them fly thousands of miles to be there; others simply walk across the pasture. But it turns out that both trips require their own kind of bravery, and sometimes the people who are missing are just as present as the people who gather around the table. The House That Jack Built is a clash of old traditions and new love; empty chairs and the people who threaten to fill them; and a family who prizes open arms, the sweet pursuit of happiness and the mysterious heartbreak that comes with getting what you think you want.
