Tigers Be Still
Depression has never been funnier! Sherry's art therapy degree didn't launch her dream career, so she moved back into her childhood bedroom. Her mom won't come downstairs. Her sister won't leave the couch. Her very first patient won't stick around for a session. Her boss brings a rifle to work. And an escaped tiger roams the streets … but Sherry's life is looking up. Variety commends Kim Rosenstock's "clever comic dialogue in a voice that is too smart to be cute."

Last Touch First by Jiri Kylian & Michael Schumacher
Famed choreographer Jirí Kylián (former artistic director of Nederlands Dans Theater) and expat Michael Schumacher eschew physical virtuosity for control, subtlety and timing with the intimate Last Touch First. Characters move surrealistically back in time to a 19th century Victorian atmosphere reminiscent of a Chekhov play. The dancers' meticulous movements, accentuated with extravagant costumes and scenery, create a dramatic and gripping work.
