A FREEKY INTRODUCTION
EVERYBODY SAY YEAH! Everybody talks about freedom, but few know how to get there. That's because they don't know their Freek. Fear not, Freeky Dee is here with a mix of poetry, ministry, and magic...plus I got a DJ with me. Together, we'll move you past your fears and doubts to bring your inner Freek all the way out! You wanna get free? Then come get your Freek on!

The production begins previews on Friday, May 16, and will open on Tuesday, June 3 for a limited engagement through Sunday, June 22.

A Freeky Introduction will feature sets by Jason Ardizzone-West, costumes by Iusaset "U-U" Bakr, and sound by G. Clausen. Monet Thibou will serve as the Production Stage Manager.

LOWCOUNTRY
When Tally, a down-and-out actress and gig worker, returns to her rural hometown, she swipes right on a disgraced high-school teacher fresh out of an ankle bracelet. Lowcountry is a dark, twisted romcom about the psychic distress of looking for love in the digital age and the carceral state.
The production begins previews on Wednesday, June 4, and will open on Wednesday, June 25, for a limited engagement through Sunday, July 13.

Lowcountry will feature sets by Arnulfo Maldonado, costumes by Sarah Laux, lights by Heather Gilbert, sound by John Gromada, fight choreography by Thomas Schall, and casting by The Telsey Office, Karyn Casl, CSA. Katie Ailinger will serve as the Production Stage Manager.
