Angel Cruz is awaiting trial for the murder of the leader of the cult that stole away his best friend. Alone, terrified, he is abused by the other inmates until he is transferred to solitary for his own protection. His only contact with the world is a surly prison guard, a disillusioned young public defender, and a sociopathic serial killer, Lucius Jenkins, who shares his hour a day of outdoor time.
Lucius claims to have found God, an inexperienced public defender has gotten a little too sure of herself and Angel’s life will be changed by both of them.

Claire has a rare form of amnesia that erases her memory whenever she goes to sleep. This morning, like all mornings, she wakes up a blank slate. Her cheerful husband comes in with a cup of coffee, explains her condition, hands her a book of the essential information for her life and goes to take a shower. As soon as he is gone, a limping, half-blind man with a lisp and a ski mask pops out of hiding. He claims to be her brother here to save her.
This poignant and brutal comedy traces one woman’s attempt to regain her memory while surrounded by a collection of alarmingly bizarre characters, each holding a forgotten piece of her life.

A smash hit off Broadway and on, this Obie-winning musical tells the story of internationally-ignored song stylist and problematic non-binary trans icon Hedwig Schmidt.
Backed by their hard-rocking band, “The Angry Inch,” Hedwig tells the hilarious and heartbreaking story of their chaotic and difficult life, their relationship to the rock superstar Tommy Gnosis, and Tommy’s ride to fame on the songs Hedwig wrote for him during their brief relationship. It’s rocking, funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who has felt life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.
