The Race of the Ark Tattoo (hanraceo)

Part shopping trip, part haunting, all play, The Race of the Ark Tattoo takes place inside a working flea market run by Mr. P. Foster, who is selling the artifacts of his deceased foster father, Mr. Homer Phinney. Audiences shop the flea market at the beginning (and end) of the play, discovering that each object in the flea market offers its own story. Each performance is different, as the stories to be told that night will be determined by the audience’'s selection of objects from Mr. Phinney’'s salvaged “story ark.” As the stories unfold, the audience discovers that this flea market is, in effect, a mausoleum—a repository for the memories of Foster'’s mysterious life within the relics of his father’'s.

Eclipsed (gureclip)

The captive wives of a Liberian rebel officer form a hardscrabble sisterhood, their lives set on a nightmarish detour by civil war. With the arrival of a new girl who can read—and the return of an old one who can kill—their possibilities are quickly transformed. Drawing on reserves of wit and compassion, these defiant survivors ask: when the fog of battle lifts, could a different destiny emerge?

Between Riverside and Crazy (guibetwe)

City Hall is demanding more than his signature, the Landlord wants him out, the liquor store is closed — and the Church won’t leave him alone. For ex-cop & recent widower Walter “Pops” Washington and his recently paroled son Junior, when the struggle to hold on to one of the last great rent stabilized apartments on Riverside Drive collides with old wounds, sketchy new houseguests, and a final ultimatum, it seems the Old Days are dead and gone — after a lifetime living between Riverside and Crazy.

The Motherfucker with the Hat (guimothe)

Things are looking up for recovering alcoholic Jackie and his girlfriend Veronica——until Jackie spots another man's hat in their apartment and embarks on a sublimely incompetent quest for vengeance. Fast-paced and uproarious, Mother is a gleefully foul-mouthed look at modern love and other addictions.

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (guilastd)

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is a wildly funny court-room drama in which history's most infamous betrayal is dissected by forces of good and evil. In a court room that owes as much to the ghetto as to the Gospels, figures such as Pontius Pilate, Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud are called to testify in a trial of God and the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth versus Judas Iscariot.

Inky (groinky)

A love-starved Manhattanite husband and wife struggle to satisfy their child-like desire to "have it all" during the high-rolling, morally skewed 1980s. When they take in Inky, a young Slavic nanny who's obsessed with Muhammad Ali, to care for their nine-year-old daughter and infant son, they are forced to face both their limitations and their potential for change. Inky is a darkly comic story about the importance of fighting back.

The Panza Monologues (gripanza)

Conceived of and written by Virginia Grise and Irma Mayorga, The Panza Monologues is an original solo performance piece (performed by Grise, directed & designed by Mayorga) based on women's stories about their panzas. Tú sabes—that roll of belly we all try to hide!

A one-woman tour de force as told through the words of women speaking with heart-stopping frankness, these stories create a journey of poignancy, humor, and revelation. The Panza Monologues boldly places the panza front and center as a symbol that reveals the lurking truths about women's thoughts, lives, loves, abuses, and living conditions. With stories contributed by Bárbara Renaud-González, Petra A. Mata, and María R. Salazar.
