New York Times Critics’ Pick Men on Boats reimagines the 1869 exploits of ten cocky yet clueless explorers who set off to chart the Green and Colorado Rivers. In Jacklyn Backhaus’ rollicking adventure dramedy, the conquering men are played by actors who are anything and everything but white and male. Men on Boats views the grit, foolishness, and humanity of their historic journey through a critical lens, challenging the traditional historical narrative with modern themes.

Caridad Svich’s “The House of the Spirits” is a poetic adaptation of Chilean author Isabel Allende’s haunting novel centered on the women of the Trueba family as they rise from rags to riches in the shadow of social and political turmoil. Infused with magical realism and spanning four generations, this darkly poetic story is both a universal family drama and a lesson in Chilean history as seen through the eyes of powerful women. Winner of the 2009 HOLA Outstanding Achievement in Playwriting award and the 2011 Primus Prize American Theatre Critics Association award.
This play makes references and allusions to real events that occurred in Chile from the 1920s to the 1970s. Some of these may be striking, off-putting, or uncomfortable for some people. The play has numerous depictions, references to, and discussion of torture, rape, militaristic and police violence, as well as violence and sexual assault of a variety of degrees.
Depictions/references/discussion of, and allusions to:
· Rape
· Torture
· Militaristic violence
· Police violence
· Sexual violence and assault
· Political protest

“Once Upon a Mattress” is a n uproarious update of Hans Christian Andersen’s “Princess and the Pea” set in a far-off land where Queen Aggravain has decreed no one can marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, finds a bride. Princesses line up to perform the ridiculous task of sensing a pea placed underneath twenty mattresses, but none can pass the test. Will the charming, free-spirited, and “shy” Winnifred the Woebegone become “the one”? At the 1960 Tony Awards, “Mattress” clinched a Best Musical nomination and a Best Actress nomination for then-newcomer Carol Burnett for her role as Winnifred.
“As fresh, inventive and funny as ever... “ Once Upon a Mattress” shows you can retell fairy tales with wit and sophistication, and more important, human feeling.” – New York Daily News
