Young Americans
March 19 – April 6th 2025
by Lauren Yee
Buckle your seat belt for this road trip comedy by Lauren Yee (King of the Yees, Apple TV’s Pachinko).
Newly engaged immigrants Jenny and Joe meet for the first time driving cross-country to their home in Portland, Oregon. Twenty years later, Joe and their adopted daughter Lucy take the same trip after Lucy’s junior year abroad. Lauren Yee’s intergenerational comedy switches between these two trips with humor and heart, illuminating Joe, Lucy, and Jenny’s search for family, self, and a sense of belonging.

Penelope
May 7 – 18 2025
Music and Lyrics by Alex Bechtel
Book by Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean and Eva Steinmetz
Based on writings in The Odyssey by Homer
A Co-Production with the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival
“It’ll be a quick war,” he says, “I’ll come home right after,” he says. Twenty years later, we need a drink.
With a cocktail in one hand and a microphone in the other, Penelope takes to the stage to tell the story of her epic twenty-year wait on the tiny island of Ithaca while her husband, Odysseus, was off playing at war. This new one-woman musical from Alex Bechtel (The Appointment) and Eva Steinmetz (Poor Judge) combines soulful songs with a wit drier than your favorite martini to tell a story that is both intimate and explosive.
