TUNNEL VISION

(2w)
When two women find themselves "stuck" in a foreign space, these strangers struggle to maintain their composure while competing
for the audience's attention--anything to avoid having to face their fears and failures or to admit their unexpected attraction to one
another. However, to move forward, they will have to face their pasts, each other, and themselves. TUNNEL VISION is about
betrayal, loss, and love. What is it to have your deepest desires witnessed? Can something new and unexpected rise out of the ashes? Can we make the life, love, and self that we want?

Lisa Ann Goldsmith and Elizabeth Ruelas in the Off the Wall production.

HOOK & EYE

(4w, 1m)
The 1952 coming-of-age story of four Boston sisters juxtaposed against the evolution of the Jewish-American comic triggers questions about family allegiance, gender identity, materialism, and mainstream American mores divorced from Jewish religious and cultural traditions. The play reflects on the ongoing expression, borrowing, morphing, and assimilation of individual, cultural, and
national identity.
