GHOSTS
by Henrik Ibsen
After the death of her cruel but outwardly charming husband, Helene Alving is determined to escape her past. She hopes that using her family's inherited fortune to construct a new school house will restore her family's legacy. Returning home from his life as a painter in France, her son, Oswald enters into a downward spiral, revealing how he may have already inherited the ghosts of his fathers past. Ibsen’s emotional shocker will receive a fresh adaptation by the Gwydion Theatre ensemble which cuts the running time to 90 minutes, resulting in a beautifully tight dramatic structure. It’s a fluid and colorful adaptation, updating Ibsen’s prose for the contemporary stage.

ASCENSION
by Jeffrey Luke Baker
The morning after graduating high school, Matthew wakes to a future that looks bleak. Addicted to porn, dependent on pot, alienated from his father, Matthew has no job, no friends, no college to look forward to—no future. Desperate to find meaning, Matthew finds himself lured back to his cultish roots of the Ascensionist Church of Christ to perform in a play that asks: what if Abraham disobeyed God and chose not to kill Isaac? This dark and hilarious satire examines the spiraling impacts of toxic masculinity, leaps of faith, and ideological fanaticism
