Workshop: Model Making for Crafty Queers with KC McGeorge

Everyone has a story worth telling. Through storytelling, we practice using our voices as a tool for self-understanding, connection, and empowerment. Students will practice identifying their true voice, as opposed to the voices and opinions of others we carry in our own heads. Students will write and perform their own story over two sessions. IMPORTANT NOTE:&nbsp;This Workshop takes place over two dates<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">April 24th, 6pm - 8pm</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">May 1st, 6pm - 8pm</li></ul>

Six very different people find common ground through their shared struggle with addiction in this sad and humorous one-woman show by Boone Williams! It&#39;s a one-woman show taking place in a sobriety meeting (think AA but secular and less structured). It is a series of monologues between a group of misfit characters all stemming from my wacky psyche. Two of whom are queer. It&#39;s laugh-out-loud funny with a heartwarming message about how, despite our wildly different backgrounds, we all struggle with a sense of belonging and self-esteem. Directed by Sofia Brown de Lopez

It follows Tom, a writer &amp; closeted trans man, in the midst of a midlife crisis after he accidentally summons the spirit of Time in human form to his apartment.

Tom learns to open up about his queerness through poetry, &amp; after several misguided failed attempts, eventually heals his broken relationship with Time through intergenerational dialogue in a trans affinity group at his local LGBT center. The other characters in the affinity group, Janie, Pearl, Callie, Axel, &amp; Lucky each share stories of their successes, trials, &amp; experiences throughout the meetings, &amp; weave a strong community bond.

Born in the late 1890s, Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore were lovers, surrealist artists, and Nazi-fighters who lived in France and on the island of Jersey. Another Mask is a swirling, shifting, theatrical collage that follows Cahun and Moore as they transgress identity and time. The play weaves together snippets of their lives, writings with missives from today&#39;s fight against fascism, tableau, puppetry, dreams, and more.&nbsp;<p fr-original-style='margin: 0px 0px 0.25rem; padding: 0px; font-weight: 400; cursor: text; box-sizing: border-box; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(29, 31, 37); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;' style='margin: 0px 0px 0.25rem; padding: 0px; font-weight: 400; cursor: text; box-sizing: border-box; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; color: rgb(29, 31, 37); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; width: 100%; line-height: 1.5;'> CREATIVE TEAM - April, 2026 Workshop Production:&nbsp;Written by Abbie Goldberg and Eugene KreitzbergDirected by Yael HorowitzFeaturing Murphy Taylor Smith (Marcel Moore) and Eugene Kreitzberg (Claude Cahun)

The piece balances intensity with restraint, weaving moments of introspection and vulnerability into a narrative shaped by endurance rather than victimhood. Rejyna&#39;s live, original music is integral to the experience, amplifying emotional shifts, internal conflict, and momentum in ways dialogue alone cannot. This is not a retrospective or a lecture. It is a charged, human story that invites the audience to sit inside uncertainty and wrestle with what justice demands when belief and law occupy the same space.

Short Play Incubator Showcase

This show performed on April 10, 2026 but you can stream it until April 30! From the NB mind of PT - &ldquo;Beloved 80s TV show host&rdquo; Alfie is still the icon you remember, warming the hearts of weirdos like yourselves for somewhere between 4 to 18 seasons (depending on who you ask). Sure, the cameras stopped rolling after PBS pulled the plug (a grudge she actively holds). But Alfie hasn&rsquo;t technically left The Play&rsquo;s House since. And she&rsquo;s absolutely, definitely, 100% convinced that any day now an audience will return for one more magical taping. Guess what?! It&rsquo;s probably you! (Unless you aren&rsquo;t planning to buy a ticket? Even a sliding scale one? Wow! Do you work for PBS?).&nbsp; With a fresh suggestion from the live studio audience, Alfie and the Play&rsquo;s House Cast will attempt to solve whatever pressing problems you have the only way we know how: through brightly colored chaos, deeply questionable wisdom, and a portal that pulls comedians right in on the fun. PT Plays House features comedians Enor Bishop, Alice Brenner, and Quei Tann. Plus a fully improvised storyline by the Play&rsquo;s House Cast: Christine Fang, David Leppert, Mariel Sena, Richy Storrs, and PT (as Alfie).

PT Plays House (as alfie)

This show performed on April 7, 2026 but you can stream it until April 30! Urgent Care is an intimate play that tells the story of Al and Ellis. Al recently broke up with Ellis, and let&#39;s just say, it was not pretty. In the aftermath of their split, Al distracts himself as he prepares for an upcoming, and long-awaited, hysterectomy. The pair&rsquo;s paths converge when Ellis appears on Al&rsquo;s doorstep, bringing news sure to put Al&rsquo;s life on hold, forcing him to further question the body he was just beginning to understand.The play moves rather quickly, its story unfolding in regular time and out of it. The scenes are set up with a conversational, natural conceit, but the structure of the story is ever-moving, meant to be staged with almost no blackouts or transitions (ironically).&nbsp;
