THE STORY: Amina and Ryan are both officers on the Cleveland police force. Amina is black, Ryan is white, and they are falling deeply and passionately in love. When an officer-involved shooting roils the department, small cracks in their relationship widen into a chasm of confusion and self-doubt. A mystery and a love story with high stakes and no easy answers, SHEEPDOG fearlessly examines police violence, interracial love, and class in the 21st century.
REVIEWS FOR SHEEPDOG:
“…riveting and thought-provoking…a mesmerizing, sometimes edge-of-your-seat drama that morphs seamlessly from a romance origin story, to a morality play, then, finally, an intriguing detective mystery…” —BroadwayWorld.com. “[SHEEPDOG] delves into fraught issues of race…[Artigue] looks through a humanized lens at the impact of a police shooting from a largely unexplored angle, the personal impacts on the shooter’s life…LA Times. “A bang-up, must-see and intensely emotional [play]…85 heart-stopping minutes…all of the parties involved in police reform, from the mayor on down, should sit down and watch together.”

The Drowning Girls
September 3 - 26, 2021
Written by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlison, & Daniela Vlaskalic
Directed by James P. Darvas
Bessie, Alice, and Margaret have two things in common: they are married to George Joseph Smith, and they are dead. Surfacing from the bathtubs they were drowned in, the three breathless brides gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. Reflecting on the misconceptions of love, married life, and the not-so-happily ever after, The Drowning Girls is both a breathtaking fantasia and a social critique, full of rich images, a myriad of characters, and lyrical language.
A People's Cuban Christmas Tale

Written by Herbert Seguenza

San Diego based award winning playwright, Herbert Segunza completely reimagines Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol into an epic Cuban historical drama. Ezequiel Scrooge is an American sugar baron caught up in the political upheavals of a country on the verge of revolution, its present and future. This retelling celebrates the Cuban people's desire for socialism and autonomy in the shadow of American economic interests. Lively classic Cuban music scores tropical Christmas tale of a greedy man who finds personal redemption and a new social consciousness.

Just as Juliana Smithton’s research leads to a potential breakthrough, her life takes a disorienting turn. During a lecture to colleagues at an exclusive beach resort, she glimpses an enigmatic young woman in a yellow bikini amidst the crowd of business suits. One step at a time, a mystery unravels as contradictory evidence, blurred truth and fragmented memories collide in a cottage on the windswept shores of Cape Cod.

Written by Christopher Durang
Directed by Adam Parker
Cliff and Salena are happily living a nice, normal life in the suburbs. But their neighbors, Jimmy and Polly, threaten to disrupt their domestic bliss.

Pablo Picasso lived quite the life. During his childhood, his father taught him the techniques of the art of painting. His father supplied him all the tools and practical knowledge to succeed. It wasn’t very long before young Pablo surpassed his father in talent and success. At the turn of the century, in a land full of sights, sounds, and people that Pablo had never experienced before, Pablo’s personal and artistic lives would undergo a drastic metamorphosis. Pablo and his best friend Casagemas traveled to Paris and their eyes and hearts were opened to things they had never imagined. The few months they spent together in Paris put their lives on a trajectory that neither of them saw coming. For Pablo, success on an unimaginable level. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Casagemas.
This World-Premier production will take you to that moment in history where everything changed for one of the most celebrated artists in history. Youth, passion, love and art…. The perfect pallet for a beautiful night at the theatre.
