A Mile in the Dark
Performance Dates: March 4-13, 2027
What happens when a single unanswered question turns a loved one into a stranger?
Jess' stepmother Carol was cheerful, generous, and seemingly at peace — until her unexpected death leaves behind questions no one seems ready, or able, to answer. As Jess tries to understand what happened, the ground beneath her begins to shift. Memory becomes unreliable. Familiar relationships turn strange. Every detail feels charged with meaning, and every answer seems to open into another uncertainty.
Emily Schwend’s A Mile in the Dark is an eerie, intimate drama about grief, suspicion, and the altered state we can enter when loss collides with fear. As Jess begins to question the people around her, the play widens into something even more unsettling: a portrait of how relationships shape us and how the truth can threaten the stories we build in order to feel safe.

Phoebe in Winter
Performance Dates: May 6-15, 2027
What happens when the cost of survival is not peace but transformation?
Three brothers return home from a distant war, ready to reclaim the lives they left behind. But before the house can become home again, there is a knock at the door. A young woman named Phoebe arrives with an accusation: these men killed her own three brothers. Now she wants reparations. Not money. Not apology. Family. If her brothers are gone, these brothers must become hers.
As Phoebe’s demand takes root, the household begins to warp around her. Roles shift. Power changes hands. The violence everyone thought they had escaped starts finding new ways to live inside the room. Jen Silverman’s Phoebe in Winter is a brutal, poetic, and darkly funny post-war fable about grief, revenge, gender, family, and the insatiable hunger to be made whole after devastation.
