ANN

By Holland Taylor

ANN by Holland Taylor, is an intimate, no-holds-barred portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary late Governor of Texas. This inspiring and hilarious play brings us face-to-face with a complex, colorful, and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed. The New York Times described the play as…” fiery, salty and brash!” The Washington Post declared ANN… “fun and engaging…marinated in Texas wryness…ANN wants you to savor the wit of this up-by-the-bootstraps politico, who began…as an adoring wife and mother and reinvented herself by entering politics and ascending the ladder."

Marjorie Prime

By Jordan Harrison

It’s the age of artificial intelligence and the 85-year-old Marjorie – a jumble of disparate, fading memories – is living with her daughter and son-in-law but has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits – if any – of what technology can replace.

Two Degrees

By Tira Palmquist

When a scientist comes to Washington DC – which some consider a hostile place for scientists these days – she discovers the stakes are higher than ever. For Emma Phelps, a paleoclimatologist coming to challenge some troubling shifts in policy, she finds herself at the intersection of the personal and the political, of sex and power, of what’s done for the public good and what’s done to make a buck. Phelps has to answer difficult questions before she can win this fight, and must discover how to thaw from her own personal anguish before she can save the planet, and herself.
