Laughter, passion, and reflection come together to explore the power of love, the beauty of art, and the importance of embracing vulnerability in relationships.
Cruel Babes
Somewhere at the intersection of the sacred and the profane, of poetry and dire scatology, of clown and Dada, of community and exile, of fourth walls and no walls at all, lies Cruel Babes. We welcome you to our family play room for laughs, tears, and live-directed anti-theatrical chaos that is at its very least…absolutely not like anything else.

Retrospecs (In-Person & Video on Demand)
Back in the early days of television (the 1990s), writers hoping to break in would write episodes of existing shows; these "spec" scripts were never meant to be produced, only to serve as samples for the aspiring writer. Spec scripts have gone out of fashion, but, in addition to being a great way to learn the craft, they were a lot of fun! You got to see the stamp individual writers put on your favorite shows.
In Retrospecs, we dig those old scripts by established writers out of their drawers and expose them to the warm light of the Elysian stage. Starring actors you know and love from TV, film, comedy, and the stage. From Girls to Gilmore Girls, from the Big Bang Theory to Buffy, get NEW EPISODES of your favorite shows, written by writers who never wrote for those shows! Only from Retrospecs.

Over the course of an hour, I will dunk on Stephen Hawking’s ass so hard with an epic party, a song and dance, a character ode-to-time-travelers, and hopefully, a real life guest from the future.
