The Smallest Sound, in the Smallest Space
March 3-5, 2023
Written by: Bryce McClendon
Directed by: Katy Early
This world premiere play follows four different University voice students participating in an investigation into the behavior of their teacher who has been publicly accused of sexual assault. The play lives into the dissonance between the personal discovery and processing of an experience of trauma, and the responsibility to represent that trauma to an investigative body concurrently.

Words of the Prophets
April 21-23, 2023
Written by: Vayl Larkin
This new play by Vayl Larkin tells the stories of five homeless characters as they go about their lives. An enby subsistence sex worker who is privately an avid reader and writer. A soldier, home with PTSD from a tragic wartime experience. Skater kids, making their own way in their own way. A woman who used to be an astrophysicist, who now wanders through her schizophrenia, colliding at times with the world. A busker, watching, observing, and most importantly, Seeing each of these people, their nuance, their complexity, and their fundamental humanity.Brought to life through silent body performers, narration verging on the poetic, and creative ASL interpretation, grounded in facts and real-world experience, this piece seeks to educate empathy above all.

The Women Have Something to Say
May 11-14, 2023
Concept and Direction: Nicole Kenley-Miller
Composer: Madeline Styskal
Dramaturg: Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton
"The Women Have Something to Say" presents the stories of female-identifying artists on the journey to find their voices, told through monologues and song texts written by the women themselves. The stories range in topic from sexism in the classical music industry, racism, age-ism, body image, silencing of women, to motherhood. Developed as a concert version in Houston, TX, this updated iteration will feature dancers, actors, and the original monologues will be woven into a theatrical narrative. The synergy of a living woman’s story being portrayed by other women speaks to the simultaneously distinctive and communal experience of women throughout time.
