—Jean-Paul Sartre

A House Divided
Theater, 90 mins
March 20 – 30, 2025 at The NuBox
Like many Americans, the Gebauers were barely on speaking terms in 2016. A long-haul trucker and Trump supporter from rural Pennsylvania, Jim steered clear of his progressive wife Rosalie, a grade-school teacher from Philadelphia, until election day put them and their two children on a collision course that ended in separation. Five years and one pandemic later, the family comes together on Thanksgiving in an even more polarized atmosphere. Will they navigate the minefield of issues dividing America in the fall of 2021, or will they finalize their divorce? The New York premiere of a new play by Joshua Crone, following the world premiere at Yellow Bicycle Theater in November, 2024
No Exit
Theater, 90 mins
May 30 – June 9, 2024 at The NuBox & Sep 26 – 29, 2024 at Yellow Bicycle Theater
Jean-Paul Sartre’s cathartic portrait of Hell premiered in Paris in May 1944. Over two weekends in May and June 2024 in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, this 80th anniversary production transports audiences back to Sartre’s grim room and reminds us the play and its themes are as timeless as ever. Reviewer Callie Stribling of Outer-Stage credits “a team that can keep the audience trapped in a room completely engrossed,” while Jim Catapano of Arts Independent writes that the actors “made a feast of the delicious material.”
