SpeakEasy Stage

Johnny “Honeycomb” James comes back home famous, changed, and impossible to explain. The voice is real, but the rumours are loud. In a town that remembers everything and forgives nothing, his return cracks open old stories and new accusations. Soon no one can agree on what’s true, only on what feels true enough to believe.

Covenant is a Southern Gothic thriller about myth-making, moral panic, and the stories people choose when the truth is too inconvenient.

Covenant

Calderwood Pavilion

On the outskirts of a small Idaho town, an aunt and nephew who barely know each other find themselves sharing a house after a sudden loss. She’s blunt, guarded, and set in her routines. He’s grieving, adrift, and not sure why he came back. As they sort through a lifetime of things left behind, conversation comes slowly. Then all at once. What emerges isn’t resolution but it’s real and it’s what they need.

Little Bear Ridge Road is a spare, quietly funny play about grief, distance, and the uneasy work of letting another person in.

Little Bear Ridge Road

Shakespeare’s heroines are done dying, marrying, and generally behaving.
When the Bard’s most iconic young women collide in a magically glitched storyline, they start questioning everything, who they love, who they are, and why things have to end the way they always do.

Witty, surprising, and just a little bit feral, this World Premiere of By Any Other Name is a fresh, music-filled take on breaking the rules, finding your people, and choosing your own ending.
