9 To 5: The Musical
Directed by: Kelly Todd
Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

Iphigenia Among the Taurians
Directed by: Bradley Griffin
Iphigenia Among the Taurians was one of Euripides' most popular plays during his lifetime, but in the 20th and 21st centuries, it has not been performed with the same frequency as his Iphigenia at Aulis. In this play, Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, did not die by her father's hand in Aulis as a sacrifice to the gods; instead, she was rescued by Artemis and taken away to live among the Taurians, where she has become a priestess of Artemis. Her brother, Orestes, and his friend, Pylades, have been commissioned to steal a statue of Artemis from the Taurians and bring it back to Greece. They are captured and nearly killed by Iphigenia, but she recognizes her brother, and she pivots from killing him to helping him escape, along with the statue of Artemis. Like Euripides' Helen, this Greek tragedy has a happy ending.

Passage
Directed by: Cathy Thomas-Grant
A fantasia inspired by E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India, Passage is set in the fictional Country X, colonized by Country Y. It is a meditation on how power imbalances affect personal and interpersonal dynamics and a drama about nationalism and colonialism and how they impact the friendship between a native of each country. How can citizens of two very different nations cope, relate, converse, and interact with each other? This is a thoughtfully told story about the current state of our world. “Unashamedly political yet deeply humane, it’s a difficult journey that is well worth the trouble.” Time Out New York
