Crevice
A coming-of-age-later comedy, recent Princeton grad Liz is unemployed, jilted, depressed, on medication, and sleeping on her mom’s sofa. This play is a wry, expressionistic look at the miasma in which the Millenial generation finds itself.
Einstein's Gift
"A revolutionary chemist, Dr. Fritz Haber discovered too late that when his knowledge was put in the hands of the wrong people, millions would die; his efforts to serve humanity futile against political will, nationalism, and war. This updated edition of Vern Thiessen’s Governor General’s Literary Award–winning play about the collision of power and pride still resonates with verve and vigour." - from the publisher

Cambodian Rock Band
Part comedy, part mystery, part rock concert, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time, as father and daughter face the music of the past. Neary, a young Cambodian American has found evidence that could finally put away the Khmer Rouge’s chief henchman. But her work is far from done. When Dad shows up unannounced—his first return to Cambodia since fleeing 30 years ago—it’s clear this isn’t just a pleasure trip. The core of the play is the relationship between the father and daughter.
