"You'll Understand When You're Younger"
Exploring the tragedies and triumphs of growing up, these three plays perform in repertory six nights a week for four weeks!
Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best Play. 15-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: He is exceptional at mathematics
but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When his neighbor's dog, Wellington is killed with a garden fork, Christopher is
determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. His detective work takes him on a dark and thrilling journey
that upturns his world."A beautiful, eloquent, dazzlingly inventive show about the wonders of life."
Evening Standard (London) The Children by Lucy Kirkwood
Two retired nuclear scientists reside in an isolated cottage by the sea as the world around them crumbles.
Together they are going to live forever on yogurt and yoga, until an old friend arrives with a frightening request."THE CHILDREN is tantalisingly hard to define: it is about aging and responsibility... It is very English, somewhat menacing, and often funny." Time Out London Big, Scary Animals by Matt Lyle
An older white couple from the country moves to the city to be closer to their granddaughter and unknowingly settles in
the gay neighborhood. What begins as polite dinner conversation with their gay, multi-ethnic neighbors careens out of control.
A hilarious collision of race, sex, guns, and sports, Big, Scary Animals examines shifting generational beliefs and just how
hard it is to raise a child regardless of who you are and where you live."One of the densest string of laugh-out-loud comedies you'll ever see . . . . this smart, 85-minute comedy created a sense of community that is, at its heart, the goal of all theater."

Just Once

We are madly attracted to each other, why shouldn't we get together? Because we work together? Who made up that silly rule?
Rules are meant to be broken. Maybe this time we should break the rule, because, well, we only live once, and why miss an
opportunity that could change our lives? Wouldn't this change our life? For sure.
