SENSITIVE GUYS - Laughing Pig Theatre - June 21-29, 2019
by MJ Kaufman
A comedic yet stomach wrenching show set on a college campus about rape culture and gender roles.
The Men’s Peer Education group is a feather in the cap of the illustrious Watson College; a gathering of male students dissecting male privilege and how to overcome it. Their counterparts in the all-female Survivor Support Group encourage and support them as they try their best to be good guys, while trying to spread awareness themselves. But when an accusation comes out about one of the guys, both groups will have to face what they are willing to believe about themselves and those close to them, and decide if trying your best is the same as being your best. In this play women and gender non-conforming people play men trying to understand the intricacies of masculinity and violence.
***This play does contain mature content

by Mark Ravenhill
Directed by Clare Thompson
The ground-breaking debut from one of the most important playwrights of the last decade, now in an acting edition. "Shopping and F***ing is a darkly humorous play for today's twenty-somethings ...a real coup de theatre" Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard "Plunges you into the world of disposability, disconnection and dysfunction, where relationships to be trusted have to be reduced to transactions ...strong stuff" Paul Taylor, Independent "Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly and wittily, than any other playwright of his generation" - Time Out

RAIN AND ZOE SAVE THE WORLD - Laughing Pig Theatre - June 19-27, 2020
By Crystal Skillman
(New Work)
Directed by Taylor Moschetti
"A wild cross-country road trip that's got a huge heart and a refreshing sense of imagination and optimism." -John M. Baker "A radically charged coming-of-age story as whimsical and fun as it is moving and deep." -- Lori Wolter Hudson. Two Seattle teenagers embark on an impulsive motorcycle journey to join a group of oil protesters on the east coast. But as they follow a major pipeline across the country, what began as two young activists' longing to belong to something greater than themselves gives way to Rain and Zoe discovering that the true danger in this world might just be growing up.
