The Catastrophist
How do you plan for catastrophe? Virologist Nathan Wolfe, named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for his work tracking viral pandemic outbreaks, proposed pandemic insurance years before the novel coronavirus outbreak. No one bought it. Now, in a post-COVID world, we hear his story—presented as cinematic digital theatre.

The Brilliant Mind of Yusef El Musri
An imaginative fantasy drama, Brilliant Mind explores mental illness in immigrant communities through a series of branching narratives. We meet Yusef, a man whose identity splits and splits and splits. Choose your adventure. Force his hand. Lure him into submission. Deviate from the obvious. Discover the secrets of an outsider in America who fights against all odds. Provocative, intimate, and wholly unique, no two experiences (or performances) will be the same. Explore the dark, poetic corners of one man’s unraveling mind as he struggles to find his way back to himself.

A brilliant Ivy League writing professor. A talented yet mysterious student. An unthinkable favor. Everyone has a story—the question is how it ends. Penned by Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp (Red Light Winter), The Sound Inside takes you behind the ivy-covered walls of Yale, and into New York’s literary haven, Greenwich Village, in this riveting new American play.

Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley
In the third installment of the Christmas at Pemberley trilogy, we follow Mr. Darcy’s younger sister, Georgiana, and Lizzie and Mary’s younger sister Kitty Bennet, who in the two years since the end of Pride and Prejudice have become best friends. Georgiana, shy and living under the scrutiny and control of her commanding older brother, is an accomplished pianist whose playing is filled with unparalleled sweetness and emotion. Kitty, now free of the influence of her flighty sister Lydia, is Georgiana’s joyful, practical confidant, determined to draw her friend out of her shell.
