Spain

Performance Dates: September 11-20, 2025

*Michigan Premiere*
Step into a sophisticated, slippery world where the line between truth and fiction is all in the packaging. It’s 1936, and a pair of passionate filmmakers have landed their next big project: a sweeping Spanish Civil War film with the potential to change American hearts and minds… it just happens to be bankrolled by the KGB. This seductive and funny new play about the ongoing Disinformation Age explores how art can drift into propaganda – and how the best-meaning creative minds can be coerced by applying “just a bit of pressure” in the right places.
 


Hyenas

Performance Dates: October 9-18, 2025

*World Premiere*
A condominium board president tries to keep calm when a blizzard traps her and a group of her eclectic neighbors inside their downtown apartment building. But the snow outside may be nothing compared to the storm brewing within: in an effort to raise property values, the apartment owners may vote to ban renters, leaving some of the residents permanently out in the cold. ‘Hyenas’ asks, in these times of economic uncertainty, are we obligated to balance our financial stability with the needs of others? And does it matter if the cost of our peace of mind is a hardship to our neighbor?


Dance Nation

Performance Dates: March 5-14, 2026

*Michigan Premiere*
Finalist, 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

If you aren’t ready to bleed, break a few bones, or trample your best friend, then you aren’t ready for this after school dance group. When a pre-teen dance team sets its sights on national glory, the stage becomes a battlefield of bodies, dreams, and identity, where the stakes are as high as the pirouettes are sharp. Will the team be able to ban together or will the hunger for dominance turn them into monsters? Dance Nation is a fiercely funny, deeply poignant explosion of ambition, adolescence, and the raw power of girlhood.

It’s been 936 days since Flint has had clean water. Marion, a third generation General Motors employee, is consumed by layoffs at the engine plant. When her sister, Ainee, seeks justice and restitution for lead poisoning, her actions reveal the toxic entanglements between the city and its most powerful industry, forcing their family to confront the cost of survival. As lead seeps into their home and their bodies, corrosive memories and secrets rise among them. Will this family ever be able to filter out the truth?
