The Reckoning of Kit & Little Boots by Nat Cassidy is a fiery, impassioned, hallucinatory, comedic, and ultimately poignant exploration of the art of writing, of what it is that calls an author to a particular subject, and of the dangers that lie in the obsessions of a creative mind. As Christopher Marlowe lies bleeding to death from a fatal knife-wound to the face, his life flashes before his eyes (or, rather, eye). His host for this journey is his own personal Mephistopheles, a character about whom he never got the chance to write: the infamous Roman emperor, Caligula.

Featuring:
Christopher Marlowe - Nat Cassidy*
Caligula - David Ian Lee*
Thomas Kyd - Alex Herrald
William Shakespeare - Keith Foster*
Dorothy Marlowe - Lara Stoby
Anne Marlowe - Anna Olivia Moore*
Sir Francis Walsingham - Andrew Firda*

Hope’s Arbor by Rich Espey is a fast-paced comedy that tells the story of Hope Horrishall’s attempted escape from the rigors of prestigious Thwaite Academy, the oldest continuously operating girls’ boarding school southwest of the Connecticut River. Rejecting the life that has been meticulously planned out for her by her parents and school, Hope’s journey through on-line and real-life relationships leads her to a surprising discovery about her own sexuality. Hope’s Arbor was a 2007 finalist at the Lark Play Development Center’s Playwrights Week 2007 and received the Carol Weinberg Award for best play at the 2006 Baltimore Playwrights Festival.

Featuring:
Hope - Lauren Marcus*
Jean - Justine Campbell-Elliott
Peter - Justin Herfel*
Chris - James Holloway*
Caitelynne - Emily Hagburg
Saiko - Jessica Ko
