Oleanna, David Mamet | Mon, Oct 13, 2025

“OLEANNA is likely to provoke more arguments than any play this year.” —The New York Times

  • A college student, Carol, drops by her professor’s office in an effort to gain his help to do better in class. John, the professor, is in the midst of buying a house to celebrate his nomination for tenure and seems distant at first. As the first meeting progresses, the two discuss the nature of understanding and judgment in society as well as their very own natures and places in our society. It seems as if a bond has been made. When next they meet, we find that a report has been filed to the tenure committee. Carol has joined a “group” and has decided that John sexually harassed her during their first meeting. Their second meeting dissects the first; every word, every nuance of the first meeting has been twisted into something else. Or has it? John’s unsuccessful attempts to convince Carol to retract her accusation escalate to a more dangerous level. The third meeting, one the court officers warned against, climaxes violently, leaving John and Carol both physically and emotionally devastated.
The Realistic Joneses, Will Eno | Mon, Jan 26, 2026

Directed by Stacey Connelly

  • Meet Bob and Jennifer and their new neighbors John and Pony, two suburban couples who have more in common than their identical last names. Boasting the playwright's quintessential existential quirkiness, this comedy finds poetry in the banal while humorously exploring our ever-floundering efforts at communication. Listed as one of New York Time's Best Plays of 2012, The Realistic Joneses received its Broadway premiere in 2014.
  • "Eno’s dialogue is a marvel of compression and tonal control, trivial chitchat flipping into cosmic profundity with striking ease [...] there’s much to savor: the dry but meaningful banter, the joy of humans sharing time and space, battling the darkness with a joke or silence. Life in Enoland isn’t what you’d call realistic — it’s more real than that." - Time Out New York
  • "[...] each line is sharply refined with dry wit and packed with underlying meaning. The characters are written with impressive realism [...]" - The Oregonian
  • "Will Eno has written a play of such extraordinary wit and insight, so carefully constructed, it resonates for days. Lines of dialogue peal through your thoughts like distant bells." - Edge Media
Doubt, A Parable, John Patrick Shanley | Mon, Jun 15, 2026

In this brilliant and powerful drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students.

  • “All the elements come invigoratingly together like clockwork in John Patrick Shanley’s provocative new play, Doubt, a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest’s behavior that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Something rare for this season: a laudable new American play.” — Variety
  • “How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely. In just ninety fast-moving minutes, Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. Doubt is a lean, potent drama…passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing.” — Newsday (NY)
  • “A beautifully balanced drama. Shanley is a writer working at the top of his craft, making the most of a muted but evocative palette in the pursuit of truth’s shadows. Here, for the first time in a long time, is a play that is about something.” — Chicago Tribune
  • “An eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences. A gripping mystery, tightly written.” — Time Out New York
