2026-27 Season
The Antipodes
By Annie Baker
Directed by Scout Davis
A team of writers in a brainstorming session for an unknown project, possibly a TV show, tell personal stories, myths, and wild tales, blurring reality and fiction as they search for the "perfect story," exploring the human need to create meaning and connection even as the world faces crisis, questioning the purpose of storytelling itself. The play feels like an endless, surreal meeting, delving into deep themes of connection, monsters (both literal and metaphorical), and the power of narrative, all while subtly hinting at encroaching global anxieties like climate disaster.

Directed by Talya Klein
What will endure when the cataclysm arrives – when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we’re faced with the task of rebuilding? Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.
