About the New Works

1999 by Stacey Isom Campbell

When a college student protests the inclusion of a film by a disgraced #MeToo-era director in her syllabus, acclaimed producer and professor Emma is forced to confront a pivotal moment from her own past. Set against the backdrop of academia and the lasting echoes of the 1990s film industry, this compelling new play weaves together the stories of three women whose lives intersect in the aftermath of trauma. With sharp insight, it interrogates the moral complexities of consuming and teaching controversial art, raising urgent questions about culpability, memory, and power dynamics.

AHOY-HOY by Jenny Stafford

A Play About That Relatable Feeling When Someone Else Invents the Telephone Three Hours Before You Do.

It’s 1876 and also, right now. Elisha Gray is this close to inventing the telephone. He’s brilliant, anxious, and ready to make history…if Alexander Graham Bell doesn’t beat him to it. Spoiler: He kind of does. Two oversized egos. One telephone. A battle of beards and bell tones. AHOY-HOY is a deliriously unhinged, unapologetic sprint through American ambition, innovation, and the absurd quest for legacy. History has never been this ridiculous or this fun.

SCREEN TIME by Sarah Cho

Ben and Julia are overjoyed to be expecting their first child, but are they actually ready for the realities of parenting? Luckily, there’s an app for that. As they navigate the chaos of modern life, the couple turns to the ultimate parenting tool to guide them through sleepless nights and existential panic. But with every push notification, the line between helpful and horrifying starts to blur.

SCREEN TIME is a sharp, unsettling comedy about raising children in a world ruled by screens and the creeping anxiety that maybe, just maybe, we’re doing it all wrong.
