ABOUT THE SHOW
Screen fatigue is real in 2021, where Tik Tok memes, online classrooms, and Facebook mom groups dominate our virtual worlds. She Kills Monsters challenges what it means to tell a story on a screen. We follow average high school senior Agnes Evans as she leaves the suburb of Athens, Ohio to the mythical online realm of Dungeons & Dragons after her sister, Tilly, dies suddenly. Join the campaign, your adventure and inner geek await.

ABOUT THE SHOW
What will endure when the cataclysm arrives—when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we’re faced with the task of rebuilding? Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy propels us forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future. A paean to live theater, and to the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.

ABOUT THE SHOW
In a large conference room on the second floor of the Radisson Hotel just outside of Wilmington, Delaware, a group of confused bank employees tries to muscle through a weekend leadership conference. A play about power and being overwhelmed and the sad feeling you get at the end of a long day when you’re tired and far from home and the only things around to eat are the stale pastries leftover from the breakfast buffet.

Displacement
Written & Directed by Angela Constantinidou & Troy Segala
Co-produced by Atlantic Acting School, Displacement is a virtual immersive performance that brings an audience together to question what Displacement means to the individual.
This project aims to spark a conversation around the word “Displacement” based on the experience of the individual. How different people, of all ages and ethnicities around the globe, understand this word? What it means to them? What are our commonalities and our differences? Can a word unite us or make us drift even more apart?
How can an ONLINE performance through zoom work to spark that conversation?
These times are rough for everyone, but people have experienced displacement physically, spiritually, emotionally since the beginning of time. For economic reasons, reasons of safety and many more. Let’s explore their “history” too.
We share our personal stories with you. We are eager to learn more about yours.

The Tale of the Rabbit
Written & Directed by Kathleen Pizzo
The Tale of the Rabbit is a five episode absurdist drama, adapted from select New England folktales, exploring the dark instability of youth and the curses we are forced to reckon with. Tonight’s event will be a reading of our second episode, Fortunato, written by Kathleen Pizzo and will be followed by a glimpse of our first completed episode The Beach written by Thomas Fredericks. Through the Tale of the Rabbit we will expose a twisted side of humanity—one that we all know deep inside, but may be too afraid to let loose.
