SELFIE
It’s senior year and problems are mounting for a group of high school students as they prepare for the future. Facing bullies, parents, pressure, sickness and their own self-judgment, the characters search for ways to stand out. As they document their year one click at a time, they come to realize life is not about what other people see – it’s about the pictures they have of themselves.

THE STAGGERING HEARTBREAK OF JASMINE MERRIWETHER
When her lab partner in AP Bio offers to dissect a fetal pig for her, Jasmine Merriwether is pretty sure it's love. But after seven weeks of bliss, her boyfriend dumps her and she's sent into a hilarious and awful tailspin that lands her in In-School Suspension. A comedy about picking up the pieces of a broken heart.​

​Set in a world divided between the wealthy Socs and the working-class Greasers, The Outsiders follows sensitive teenager The Outsiders through friendship, violence, and the struggle to hold onto innocence in a harsh world. Seen through Ponyboy’s eyes, the story explores loyalty, identity, and the emotional lives hidden beneath tough exteriors as he and his friends navigate rivalry, loss, and the hope that goodness can survive even in difficult circumstances. Through relationships with characters like Johnny, Dallas, and Cherry, the play captures the fragile beauty of youth and reminds audiences that “nothing gold can stay.”

This is a skillfully condensed, two scene adaptation with all the flavor of the original. Earnest is a convenient excuse for Jack Worthing whenever he needs to avoid social responsibilities -- but then Earnest seems to take on a life of his own!

​Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious, high-energy comedy. Mixing mockery and homage, Frayn heaps a hilarious melée of stock characters and situations into his side-splitting play-within-a-play.
