The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
This 1895 comedy by the master of wit Oscar Wilde feels as fresh today as it did over a century ago. Though it initially reads like a flowery farce, quickly descends into an ironic skewering of social conventions, identity, and hypocrisy.

You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World by Keiko Green
In this colorful meditation on life and death, we follow the psychedelic journey of a terminally-ill man who has become obsessed with saving the environment. This new play is at once life-affirming, kaleidoscopic, and utterly hilarious.

This Part of His Life Blooms by Christina Anderson
Keep an eye out for this brand-new play by American playwright Christina Anderson! This Part of His Life Blooms tells the story of a newly-single, newly-retired man, who finds new meaning in life by tending his garden, with the help of his best friends.

House and Garden by Alan Ayckbourne
This ingenious double-header brings audiences to an English country house, where public and private lives unravel as the family prepares for a yearly garden party. In a stroke of genius dramaturgy, Ayckbourne constructs two complementary plays which are meant to be performed simultaneously: one takes place in the house, and the other takes place concurrently in the garden outside.
