Lulu
Created by The Walking Griot

Adventure into a world of Caribbean folklore with Lulu as she embarks on a life-altering journey she didn’t know she signed up for. With her ailing grandmother in the hospital and her estranged father back in town, Lulu finds herself in the company of Anansi, a mythic trickster. To find the key to save her life as she knows it, Lulu arrives in the mystical folk realm, a world on the verge of collapse, where she encounters beings she’s only heard about in stories and new lessons to be learned. But with time running out, will she discover the hidden secrets or will everything be lost forever?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls
March 23, 2024
11:30am
From ROSENEATH THEATRE
Written by Dave Deveau
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls follows the story of 9-year-old Fiona who comes out as a boy and wants to be called Fin. Fin has always had this feeling – knowing something is different but not knowing what it was or how to say it. As Fin cuts his hair short and changes his name, his family works to understand and adjust to Fin’s gender identity. Dad is accepting of the change right away, but Mom doesn’t quite get it at first. Always from a place of good intentions, we see Fin’s family struggle with this change and through the course of the play ultimately begin to accept and embrace Fin for who he is.

AT THE END OF KALIYUGA
November 11, 2023
11:30am
Created and Performed by Sanskruti Marathe
At The End of Kaliyuga is about Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer). These three, known as the Holy trinity of Hinduism, need to decide the fate of the Earth as we come to the end of the fourth and the final cycle (Yuga) of the Universe. Will they put an end to the planet to begin a fresh start, will humanity get a second chance to fix all the problems, or is there a third path that the Gods will take for the sake of humanity?
