2025: Gruesome Playground Injuries is a darkly comic, yet deeply poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring bonds of childhood. The play follows Kayleen and Doug, two souls magnetically drawn together through a series of catastrophic accidents. Their relationship is a rollercoaster of intimacy and distance, laughter and pain, as they navigate the complexities of life from the playground to adulthood.

With raw honesty and unflinching humor, Rajiv Joseph’s play delves into the messy, beautiful, and often brutal reality of human connection. As these characters repeatedly find themselves in the nurse’s office, their physical wounds mirror the emotional scars they carry. A delicate balance of comedy and tragedy, Gruesome Playground Injuries is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

2024: By Cindy Lou Johnson. The place is a remote cabin in the wilds of Alaska. Thrown together in its confines are lonely man Henry Harry and run-away-bride Rosannah DeLuce. Wounded and embittered by life, they alternately repel and attract each other as they explore the pain of the past and consider the possibilities of the present. In the end their very isolation proves to be the catalyst that allows them to break through the web of old griefs and bitter feelings that beset them both and to reach out for the solace and sanctuary that only hard-won understanding, self-awareness and compassion for the plight of others can bestow.

2023: By Lucas Hnath. Everyone who ever died is still here, just in a different part of here. Linda can communicate with them. And if you believe, she can make you hear them, too-in The Thin Place, the fragile boundary between our world and the other one.

2022: By Elizabeth Heffron. With humor, intelligence and honesty, “Mitzi’s Abortion” explores the questions that have shaped the national debate over abortion, and reminds us that whatever we may think we believe, some decisions are neither easy nor simple when they become ours to make. A generous and compassionate comedy with serious themes about a young woman trying to make an intensely personal decision in a system determined to make it a political one. “Mitzi’s Abortion” calls us to open our hearts and our minds for a conversation that goes beyond a two-sided narrative. It shifts our focus instead to the people impacted by impossible situations and their need for compassion.
