Scenes From An Execution
By Howard Barker,
Directed by Richard Romagnoli
The eternal battle between the artist and the State….the passionate story of the Venetian painter Galactia, and her collision with the Doge of Venice.

Judith: A Parting From The Body
By Howard Barker,
Directed by Richard Romagnoli
The story of Judith is one of the great tales of female heroism and sexuality that has inspired artists in nearly every generation. In Barker's telling, the fatal encounter between Judith and Holofernes becomes a complex duel of seduction and deception and a compelling study of intense desire and the sometimes terrifying nature of love.

Vinegar Tom
By Caryl Churchill,
Directed by Cheryl Faraone,
Music by Carol Christensen,
Lyrics by Caryl Churchill
A haunting play with seriously subversive intent – misogny, torture + songs. In a village in 17th century England three women are threatened with death for the practice of witchcraft. Vinegar Tom is a cabaret about hanging witches, with no witches.
