The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare.  Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met.  And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother.  Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.  Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

In Lysistrata, the women of Greece, led by Lysistrata, initiate a sex strike to end the Peloponnesian War. There will be no sex until there is peace. Not only do the women deny their men, but they also seize the Acropolis, further complicating the situation. Ultimately, the men driven to desperation by the battle of the sexes, agree to peace talks. The play culminates in a joyous celebration as the warring parties reconcile.

It’s eleven o’clock in the morning in a council flat on the Walworth Road in London. In two hours’ time, as is normal, three Irish men will have consumed six cans of Harp, fifteen crackers with spreadable cheese, ten pink biscuit wafers and one oven-cooked chicken with a strange blue sauce. In two hours’ time, as is normal, five people will have been killed. A remarkable play about what can happen when we become stuck in the stories we tell about our lives. Visceral and tender, The Walworth Farce combines hilarious moments with shocking realism.

This story is based on a legend from Chinese history. It takes place over 1,500 years ago, during a time of war and unrest known as the WeiJin Dynasties. In that time, society followed strict gender roles. Men went to war and held power, while women were expected to stay at home, marry young, and raise children. Any woman who dared to dress as a man and join the army risked being punished—even killed. But in this world of rules and expectations, one young woman chose a different path. She stood up, broke the rules, and chased her dream. Her courage, wisdom, and strength challenged the idea that only men could be heroes. Her story lives on, inspiring people around the world to believe in equality and to follow their hearts.
