by Trish Harnetiaux

Theater

An excerpt from The Diary of a Teenage Girl

by Marielle Heller

Theater

I think he’s going to cut things off with me. He’s getting more involved with my mother again. They seem to be going out more and more. I just can’t take it. What if they got married or even if they just moved in together?

by Miriam Felton-Dansky

Theater

IN DIALOGUE: Kia Corthron’s Cool Dip

by Kara Lee Corthron

Theater

"There’s a lot of autobiography in A Cool Dip in the Barren Saharan Crick," says playwright Kia Corthron.

by Alan Lockwood

Theater

Delirium 27 works with a tantalizing vision. Lights glower, rhythms pulsate in the sound design as the four actors group and break compulsively.

by Mallery Avidon

Theater
