A retelling of Frankenstein like you’ve never seen it before. BKBX (Broken Box Mime Theater) is a contemporary physical theater company that tells original stories beyond any language barrier. Set to rich lighting and a heart-thumping soundtrack, A BKBX Frankenstein remixes and riffs on the themes found in Mary Shelley’s Gothic horror classic: technology, creation, and modern monsters. The show’s centerpiece is an ode to sci-fi cinema, Starship Excelsior, which brings a new space opera twist to that famous moment when creator and creation meet for the first time. Even without the words “it’s alive,” audiences will leave buzzing with new ideas about the dangers of creation, hubris, and what is out of our control.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning collision of race, class, and friendship at a pivotal moment in America. Filled with warm humor and tremendous heart, Sweat tells the story of a group of friends who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs while working together on the factory floor. But when layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, the friends find themselves pitted against each other in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat. Broadway playwright Lynn Nottage (Ruined) developed this play by interviewing numerous residents of Reading, Pennsylvania during a time when it was considered one of the “poorest cities in America” (2011).

This bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! In regency England, love is a serious game, and the Bennet sisters are playing for keeps. This clever comedy offers a decidedly progressive take on the trials of Lizzy, Mr. Darcy, and the whole Bennet clan, with a few dance breaks thrown in for good measure. Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life, than it does in this effervescent adaptation.
