i’m repeating myself
A strange summer provokes questions about family, mortality, porn algorithms, and whether or not you’re still single because you're “too picky.” I’M REPEATING MYSELF wonders how we get over a lifetime of tiny wounds to take care of the people we love...and maybe ourselves too.
6 actors, any age, any gender.

#’s
An existential office comedy (with math) about a group of coworkers who must rate their colleagues (and themselves) with numbers from 1 to 12 by EOD. As they struggle to define a scale that keeps changing—testing their friendships, their egos, and their patience—how will they hold on to the jobs they hate?

Dead Friend Comedy
Michael and Daniel want to tell you about how Daniel went to see a medium to talk to their friend Kat, who died ten years ago (or was it nine?). She didn’t say anything that important, but...should they tell Kat’s husband? A metaphysical, metatheatrical (vague) memory play about friendship, loss, and what we owe the people we say we love...even after they’re gone. (And are they ever really gone?)

Retreat, or “A Curious Token”
It’s been two years since the 2016 election—and since Henry and Caleb left Brooklyn to start an intentional community on a Pennsylvania farm. (You might call it a “gay commune,” but they wouldn’t.) As they prepare for a vernal equinox party—with fireworks, skinnydipping, and a farm-to-table feast—an unexpected visitor forces the men to reconsider what they owe the community they’ve created and the one they left behind.
