2023/24 Season
SANCTUARY CITY
By Martyna Majok
Directed by Steph Paul
Oct 23 – Nov 18, 2023
In the Ensemble Theater
2001. Newark, NJ. Two teenagers, brought to America as children, now face an uneasy question: what are they willing to risk for a future together in the only country they've known? The simple joys of coming-of-age are challenged by the uncertainty of their next chapters. Pulitzer Prize-winner Martyna Majok brings light to the sacrifices made by DREAMers, lovers and lifelong friends in the heart-stirring and hopeful Sanctuary City—a story that fractures time and transcends memory—crossing boundaries, borders and genres in search of a place to call home.
a home what howls (or the house what was ravine)
By Matthew Paul Olmos
Directed by Laura Alcalá Baker
Feb 7 – Mar 2, 2024
In the Ensemble Theater
A coyote howling. A home in disarray. A young woman alone. In Matthew Paul Olmos’ world premiere, Soledad Vargas is in the city, fighting for her family’s right to live on their land. When hope starts to dwindle, how far will she go, and what will she be forced to leave behind? A modern myth drawn from the real life struggles of displaced communities around the globe, a home what howls is a lyrically-rendered quest of youth activism standing against forces of injustice.
