Jan. 31–Feb. 9: Adoption Roulette, by Elizabeth Fuller and Joel Vig. WORLD PREMIERE! Adoption Roulette is based on a true account of Fuller and her husband adopting a little girl from Russia.

The play takes the audience on a ride through the streets of Moscow and into the hinterlands of Siberia as the couple tries to realize their dream.
Mar. 13–22: How to Survive an Apocalypse, by Jordan Hall. A romantic comedy for the End of Days.

But their obsession takes its toll, and they are forced to imagine the apocalypse without the love of their life.
Apr. 17–26: Man & Wife, by Emma Goldman-Sherman. Man & Wife Wife is a play that speaks to this moment in our country's history. This social comedy begins in just prior to the 2016 election and follows a married couple, Ron and Missy Merriweather, beginning as ornaments on their own wedding cake, through 25 years of a bipartisan marriage, for better or worse.
