THE FINAL CHAPTER OF
BLACKJEWLOVE
Written by Steve Epstein & Naimah Hassan
Beloved comedic duo, Epstein & Hassan are back. Steve Epstein hits the stage minus the love of his life, Naimah Hassan, who passed in October. But still had the energy to craft this next iteration of their show in her last months. Steve will follow-through to deliver a (still very funny) evening dedicated to their love and legacy as educators and uplifters of the human spirit.
Saturdays, February 4, 11, 18, 25th at 7:30pm
and returns March 25th forward

SOCIETY
A WORKSHOP PRESENTATION
Written by Skylar Fox & Simon Henriques
Directed by Skylar Fox
Produced by Nightdrive
A bomb goes off every day in the subway system in the very big city you live in. No one knows what line it’ll be, or when. It’s dangerous, but the subway is still the easiest way to get around town, so…most people do it anyway. People stopped caring after a month or two. Just another inconvenience that might make you late to work. Or class. Or a date. Or that focus group you’ve been doing to make some extra cash.
You can’t believe they still ask you back in for more sessions—it feels like you’ve been going there forever. But the money’s decent, and there are snacks. It’s usually a different group in there every time, but a couple people are starting to look familiar. Maybe you’re just imagining things. But they’re staring at you, too, right?
Society is part play, part participatory focus group, part collective fever dream, presented around a giant conference table. Have some mixed nuts. Circle a number from one to five. This is just the beginning.
