AGNES OF GOD

by JOHN PIELMEIER

This gripping psychological drama centers on a young novice nun accused of infanticide. As a court-appointed psychiatrist and the convent’s Mother Superior battle over the case, they confront deep questions of faith, innocence, and mental health. At its core, this play is a subversive exploration of faith, questioning the rigidity of religious belief in the face of trauma and psychological complexity which powerfully explores belief, trauma, and redemption.

AMERICAN BUFFALO

by DAVID MAMET

This raw, fast-paced drama follows three small-time crooks who plot to steal a valuable coin collection, only to find their loyalty and integrity tested as the plan unravels. The piece is subversive in its ruthless critique of the American Dream. The play, as relevant today as it was when it debuted,  strips away the veneer of business ethics to reveal a brutal, dog-eat-dog world where loyalty and trust are sacrificed for self-gain. With sharp dialogue and complex character dynamics, Mamet’s masterpiece dives into perceptions of integrity and success.

HARLAN AND BRONNA
JUMP OUT THE WINDOW

by MICHAEL JACOBS

Michael Jacobs, the Emmy and Academy Award-nominated creator behind Boy Meets World, Girl Meets World, Dinosaurs, Quiz Show, and three previous Broadway and Off-Broadway plays, debuts his newest work right here in Jacksonville! This world premiere is a playful yet subversive commentary on privilege, identity, and social collapse. This comical, fourth-wall-busting play explores the chaotic lives of Harlan and Bronna, a wealthy New York couple who lose their fortune and must confront their own humanity—all while the world is literally ending. With its inventive structure and sharp satire, the play challenges traditional theatre conventions, exposing the absurdity of social status and the fragility of human connection. The couple’s struggle to adapt to a world in chaos becomes a biting metaphor for contemporary anxieties about wealth, status, and societal breakdown.
