  • Exploring themes of identity, cultural displacement, and the universal need for connection and feeling “at home” in the world, COMRADES follows Don, a queer Chinese American man, who moves to China to reconnect with his roots. An unexpected reunion with a college acquaintance leads Don to discover that true belonging comes not from a specific place but through self-acceptance and with those who will embrace him wholly.

Get ready for an electrifying month of groundbreaking theatre! The SNAP (Spotlight on New American Plays) Festival is coming in March 2025, and this is your chance to witness and help shape the future of American plays. Featuring a handpicked selection of new works from local playwrights, the festival promises innovative storytelling, bold artistic voices, and an experience like no other.

We're thrilled to announce a bold new direction: merging SNAP with the Young Playwrights Festival. This collaboration brings fresh perspectives across generations, featuring raw talent, dynamic scripts, and performances that push theatrical boundaries. With professional actors presenting these script-in-hand readings, you'll have the chance to focus entirely on the powerful words and stories, free from distractions. Immediately following the performances, you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts directly with the playwrights during post-show discussions, helping to shape the next stage of these profound works!

Join us for this one-of-a-kind theatrical event where you can be part of the creative process and experience the vibrant future of American theatre! Don’t miss out!

Enjoy the Town Hall happy hour from 6:00-6:30pm and 1:00-1:30pm, and enjoy a $1 off all beer and wine!
