The Extinction of Felix Garden

After setting fire to an entire forest, an ex-forest ranger is required by law to move to Brooklyn. But even in the city she can’t escape wilderness.

A love story bent on destruction. [3M, 2W]

A circus orphan stranded in suburbia must journey through miles of freak-studded desert to find her way back to her mother under the saddest bigtop on the planet. An ensemble fairy tale for adults. [3M, 4W]

Short Plays & a Rant

In the Heideman Award-winning Hum of the Arctic, we glimpse a lost moment between a deaf woman blasting Queen from her radio and the artist who barges in on her, in her bathroom, in the bathtub, with a blue paintbrush. Plus five other short plays. A lethal dress. The aftermath of a bakery explosion. A sketch of a train ride for two actors and a diorama. And an open letter titled "Who Put the Dead Bird in my Mailbox," produced in Chicago in Collaboraction's Sketchbook Festival.
