BREAKDOWN

The Shark is Broken by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon

Runs: 8/26/2025 through 10/12/2025 (1st rehearsal - closing)

Synopsis

The first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed—but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with testy, feuding costars, unpredictable weather, and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. In this comedy co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of co-writer Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble, and pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.

Roy Scheider - 30s, the actor who play Chief Martin Brody in Jaws

Synopsis

A love story about Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner.

Seeking

Gene Wilder: CAST. 40s. The beloved comic actor, writer, and director. A hilarious presence onscreen. Off-screen, a brilliant, charming, anxious, complicated man.

Gilda Radner: CAST. 30s-40s. The beloved comedian and actor. A ball of explosive energy. Brash, funny, neurotic, insecure. And underlying it all is a fierce, indomitable spirit.

The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson

Runs: 5/12/2026 - 6/28/2026 (1st rehearsal - closing)

Synopsis

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection...that ends in a song and a scaffold.

Seeking

Olympe de Gouges - playwright

Charlotte Corday - assassin

Marie Antoinette - former queen

Marianne Angelle - Haitian rebel
