About the Show
The Good John Proctor offers a new look at the lead-up to the Salem Witch Trials, imagining the inner lives of the real girls at the center of the trials as they hurtle toward the events dramatized in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Abigail Warren, age eleven, and Betty Parris, age nine and a half, are best friends. There’s also Mercy Lewis, the child alcoholic, and Mary Warren, who shakes for no reason. The girls churn butter, play with poppets, and listen to The Woods at night. But their world is turned upside-down when Abigail starts to work for a farmer named John Proctor. Playwright Talene Monahon brings these familiar names to new life as the young women of Salem navigate the nature of Satan and the bloody trials of adolescence.
Content Advisory
The Good John Proctor explores themes of grooming, child sexual assault, chronic illness, substance abuse, and gender dysphoria. The play contains strong language and includes discussions and depictions of miscarriage, violence, and child abuse.
COMING SOON
The Taming of the Shrew
Performances:
Fridays/Saturdays @ 8pm
Sundays @ 2pm (Last Sunday @ 5pm)
Opening August 21st running through September 13th
Our production reimagines The Taming of the Shrew not as a dated farce, but as a 21st-century interrogation of the human psyche. By viewing the play’s infamous power dynamics through the lens of Coercion vs. Consent, we force a confrontation with the uncomfortable truths of modern relationships.
Using a stark, industrial design and a visual language rooted in the aesthetics of restraint, we’ve created a world where every costume choice and scenic shift is a move in a high-stakes game of dominance. This isn’t just a play about a marriage, it’s a thriller about the price of surrender.

It’s June in Los Angeles. You stumble across a woman with a vintage typewriter. After giving her just a word and a few bucks, she writes you a bespoke poem on the spot. You feel seen, you feel lighter, and you can’t help but smile as you go about your day.
But the Poet? Oh, she’s a total mess.
Freshly unemployed and heartbroken, our Poet opts to make ends meet by writing for strangers on the street. But what started as a wholesome operation has quickly illuminated her lack of direction, cynical nature, and fleeting sense of identity. With each interaction, the audience peeks further into her inner world, rich with contradiction, sharp humor, and a stubborn sense of splendor.
An exploration of purpose, presence, and the power of community, Poetry For Strangers does not answer the question: What is poetry? But rather: What is poetry capable of?
Dear Black Superwoman
Saturday, November 14th @ 8pm
Sunday, November 15th @2pm
The play weaves together the writers journey to define black womanhood with the difficult historical realities of 1968. The audience is transported to both segregated south where they meet Mary Joyce, a law graduate stuck as a receptionist and Dorothy, an aspiring actress. They both depend on each other for survival but when they receive career defining opportunities their sudden path to success begins to strain their sisterhood. This dual narrative is a moving exploration of how the past and present echo each other and how leaning on our community is the most profound success.
