To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Vanessa and Brian take a road trip in hopes of reinvigorating a flagging marriage. Lost in the California mountains, they arrive at the restaurant of a ski lodge in the middle of July. The restaurant is open for business although Vanessa and Brian appear to be its only customers. Three locals encountered by the couple – the owner of the lodge, a teenage waitress, and a resident ski-bum with a French accent – recognize Vanessa as their very dear friend Annabella, even though Vanessa’s shy, mousy personality is nothing like the descriptions of the amazing, vivacious and magical Annabella. However, in trying to assert that she is in no way like Annabella, Vanessa discovers her own magical powers – powers that could either save or destroy her twenty-year marriage. ANNABELLA IN JULY is a fast paced comedy from Richard Strand, the playwright who wrote THE REALIZATION OF EMILY LINDER, BUTLER, and BUZZ.

Annabella in July

Detroit Repertory Theatre

Sports: for some, a trivial diversion; for many others, a way to perceive and experience something greater than ourselves. An opportunity to break away from the ordinary and catch a glimpse of the extraordinary and transcendent, even if only in forty-eight-minute increments. Over a ten-year span, for two friends, it becomes a means to articulate everything they would otherwise be unable to express. Shawn and Matt’s lives, from tragedy to triumph and everything in between, are narrated through the lens of LeBron James’ career milestones in Rajiv Joseph’s poignant story of friendship and the profound meanings inherent in a time-honored American pastime (Yes, we know it was invented by a Canadian).

On the edge of the wilderness, four friends gather at a backyard party to honor their mentor and the newly inaugurated president of a conservative Catholic university. It has been years since they last met and as the celebration runs deep into the night, their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos and a vicious fight to be understood. 

Heroes Of The Fourth Turning

Robin wants a kid. But she’s not doing it the old-fashioned way. She’s found him online. And now he’s here. In this theatre. And her wife is not on-board. The impacts of Robin’s decision ripple through her newly-formed family creating consequences animal in nature. Caught in the middle, the child launches himself on a lone wolf’s journey to find a pack he can call his own.

Wolf Play

It's the Bandits' best year EVER! Until one by one, cheerleaders succumb to a mysterious illness. As the traditional high-school pecking order is upended, relationships between the girls are tested and they find themselves both shunned and branded as hysterics. Inspired by true events.
