A typical college general education course is nearing the end of the semester and the instructor discusses the final project with the students. Since the course is The Concept of Death in the Renaissance, they are tasked with portraying the deaths found in Shakespeare’s canon. Seems simple enough- act out a few death scenes and all done. He meant ALL the deaths in Shakespeare’s entire canon of plays- including the offstage ones. That is over 150 deaths to be presented in their “production”, which is the entirety of act 2 of this play. The students put their own twists on interpreting the fight scenes. Some are brilliant, some not so much. This is a wonderful action comedy for actors and audience alike.

“TYPEEPEE: A ROMANCE OF THE SOUTH SEAS is an absurd and heartwarming exploration of love, identity, and the wonderfully messy parts of being human. At the center of it all is Bing Yongle, a former campus lothario whose glory days are behind him after a moped accident leaves him struggling with impotence. Bing now finds himself stuck between his overly clingy girlfriend, Kim, a robotics major determined to build an animatronic Herman Melville, and his hapless friends, Toby and Tommy, who desperately need his help to woo two women from the conservative Wolfowitz House dorm. What follows is a riotous mix of romantic misadventures, misguided schemes, and laugh-out-loud absurdity, as Toby and Tommy stumble through awkward conversations and failed attempts to impress Mary and Karky. Bing, meanwhile, has his own battles to fight—not just with his newfound sense of inadequacy, but also with Sister Philippa Soggybox, the unpredictable and flirtatious nun who oversees the dorm. Set against the backdrop of a gaudy Hawaiian-themed lounge the play dances between farce and sincere reflection.”

“FIRE MELT STONE is a poignant, coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of 1889 Spokane Washington, just before the devastating fire that would change everything. At its core, the play follows the journey of Matty Heartshorn, a strong-willed twelve-year-old who feels the weight of her family’s hardships pressing down on her as she searches for something—anything—that can make life feel whole again after her father’s death. Matty, alongside her younger sister Dot and their friend George, sets out on an adventure fueled by half-believed stories of monsters and treasure. But what starts as a quest for something mythical slowly transforms into a confrontation with the real monsters of loss, grief, and the struggles that come with growing up too fast. Along the way, they encounter a grizzled prospector named Klein, and Matty, determined to break free from the burdens of family duty, must face her own inner fears. The play is rich with a dreamlike quality, where whispered secrets into stones are just as real as the burning city that threatens to engulf them. Matty’s journey is one of survival—both physical and emotional—as she fights to protect the people she loves most from the encroaching flames of loss and change. Fire Melt Stone is a story about the fire that burns inside us all: the fire of grief, of resilience, and of the ties that bind a family together, even when everything else seems to fall apart. It’s a haunting yet hopeful reminder that sometimes, the things that hold us together are stronger than anything trying to tear us apart.”
