2025/2026: what is the cost of the truth?
appropriate

2024 tony award winner by branden jacobs-jenkins / alberta debut

the lafayette siblings return to their childhood home after their father’s death, including the estranged youngest brother. each sibling has a different memory of who their father was, and what they’re owed. one wants to hold onto memories. one wants to cash out. and one is done staying quiet. no one agrees on what this family was or is.

fast. relentless. darkly funny. explosive. just when it feels like it can’t go any further—it does. the past can push back.

18+. dark, fast-paced dramedy.

when a geneticist unleashes william shakespeare into the present day, she’s forced to contain a bard who is louder, queerer, and more outraged than ever. as shakespeare commandeers a theatre, falls in love with a drag queen, and attempts to incite an artistic revolt, what began as a scientific leap-of-faith soon spirals into a coup that threatens a government takedown.

18+. contemporary comedy.
