THE LAST TEMPTATION OF BILL HICKS
The Last Temptation of Bill Hicks begins at the end of the infamous comedian’s short life. The edgy, avant-garde comedian is offered an opportunity to return to his life on earth. Once there, Hicks engages in an existential battle for truth and meaning. A drama about the seriousness of comedy, and a comedy about the pointlessness of drama, this incisive play is one part a search for the self and a search for the collective consciousness. Hicks, who died at roughly the same age as Jesus of Nazareth, is resurrected to usher darkness back to a world choking in light. 2W, 1M, 1 ANY GENDER

THE GREAT POTATO CONSPIRACY
Jeffrey Jefferson is on a mission to spread the truth about a terrible conspiracy plaguing America. In the midst of his fervor, it becomes clear that he, himself, is playing into an entirely separate conspiracy. A satire about being certain about uncertain things, this play is one part tragedy of a divided America and one part comedy of a divided America trying to come back together. 3W, 3M
