Flyer for PASSAGE

PASSAGE

A May Studio Theatre production
This production contains the use of a prop firearm, simulated gunshots/loud noises, theatrical haze, and flashing or intense lighting effects. Patrons with sensitivities to sound, light, or atmospheric effects are encouraged to take this into consideration.

Inspired by E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India, Christopher Chen’s PASSAGE is a poetic drama set in a fictional colonized country. When a tense encounter between a native citizen and an expat spirals into accusation and unrest, the play questions the murky ethics of imperialism, cultural misunderstanding, vulnerability, and identity. Through abstract storytelling, the play invites us to examine how fear and “otherness” distort even our most human interactions.

Flyer for THE STEADFAST

THE STEADFAST

A Shanklin Theatre production
This production contains the use of prop firearms, simulated gunshots/loud noises, theatrical haze, and battlefield-situation simulations. Patrons with sensitivities to sound, light, noise, or atmospheric effects are encouraged to take this into consideration.

Spanning eight American wars and more than two centuries of history, THE STEADFAST is a thrilling, time-shifting theatrical event about courage, conviction, and the cost of serving one's country. Inspired by Steve Alpert's painting “Legacy," this striking play connects the lives of eight soldiers—from the American Revolution to the aftermath of 9/11—through moments of bravery, resistance, grief, and hope.   THE STEADFAST is a powerful tribute to those who serve—and those who dare to question the meaning of heroism itself. This is American history as you've never seen it: alive, fractured, and fiercely human.

Flyer for THE HUMANS

THE HUMANS

A May Studio Theatre production

A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the 2016 Tony Award-winner for Best Play, THE HUMANS, packs a punch in this tragicomedy dealing with economic anxiety, guilt, grief, and forgiveness.  Masterfully rendered by playwright Stephen Karam, the play centers around a family gathering on a Thanksgiving night in a ramshackle apartment in lower-Manhattan.  As the sun goes down, tensions rise, and this middle-class family is left exposed and vulnerable resulting in both a humorous and heartbreaking look into the realities of modern familial life.
