Ride
By Eric Lane
Eric Lane’s poignant and hilarious play Ride takes three teenage girls on a life-changing road trip. While Carrie and Molly would never hang out together at high school, the two form a fragile bond during their job at a local farm stand. The girls are keeping secrets, which unfold over the course of their adventure. The girls’ true selves begin to emerge; their “ride” is both a physical and emotional one. Directed by Lynn Lammers. Featuring Julia Hays, Anna Morreale and Sara Anne Ostrowski.

Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them
By A. Rey Pamatmat
Three kids — Kenny, his sister Edith, and their friend Benji — are all but abandoned on a farm in remotest Middle America. With little adult supervision, they feed and care for each other, making up the rules as they go. Directed by Lynn Lammers. Featuring Amanda Harvey, Blaine Mizer and Caleb Wolfe.

Evie's Waltz
By Carter W. Lewis
Clay and Gloria Matthews are living every respectable parent’s nightmare. Their increasingly distant son, Danny, has just been expelled for bringing a gun to school…and then the intervention barbecue is torpedoed by his fiery accomplice-girlfriend, Evie. As twilight falls and tempers flare, a precarious dance of cat-and-mouse is set in motion. Directed by John Lepard. Featuring Marley Boone, Alex Leydenfrost and Emily Sutton-Smith.
