Twirl

A workshop production
By Joe Sutton
February 17-27
Do you recall the famous phone call Ginni Thomas, wife of Jus-
tice Clarence Thomas, made to Anita Hill years after her origi-
nal testimony? If you do, you may also recall that Ginni Thom-
as left a message on Anita Hill’s answering machine asking her
to apologize. Why? That is the question explored in the new
play TWIRL, a play very much inspired by that original phone
call. The Justice involved is nothing like Clarence Thomas, but
the issues surrounding that call are very similar indeed. And
they all raise the question -- what did she hope for?

Life's Work

A World Premiere Production
by Laura Ekstrand
April 21-May 1, 2022
Every intimate relationship is based on a web of understanding,
whether implicit or explicit. In this comic drama, two couples
discover what happens when their agreements around work
and money shift and evolve. Chip suddenly decides to quit his
corporate job, blindsiding his wife Lynn, who is just returning to
her career after years as a primary caregiver. Shelly, a photog-
rapher who earns her living as a barista, navigates her relation-
ship with the practical Eduardo, a restaurant manager. This
world premiere production asks, ‘Is it possible for a partnership
to survive when the ground rules change?
