Gruesome Playground Injuries by Rajiv Joseph
Kayleen is in the nurse’s office with a painful tummy ache when she meets classmate Doug, who is battered from gleefully taking a running dive off the roof of the school. From 8 to 38 years old, the two friends meet again and again, brought together by injury, heartbreak, and a whole lotta stupid choices. Gruesome Playground Injuries is a compelling and intimate love story filled with heart, laughter… and a little blood.
“This wondrous strange two-hander finds as much humor as horror in the play’s bizarre events." - Variety

The Receptionist by Adam Bock
In the Northeast Office, the receptionist keeps the company running smoothly while happily dealing with everything from ringing phones to her colleague’s romantic troubles. But when her boss suddenly veers from the party line, the dark truth behind their office routine starts to emerge. This “disturbingly timely work” (Time Out New York) raises provocative questions about the comfort and horrors of living in a black and white world— and the high stakes for those who innocently step into the gray.
The Receptionist is a comedic thriller full of “Computers, Cubicles and Creepiness” - New York Times
