A young white man and a young black man meet on a D train to the Bronx and strike up a conversation.
It’s 1992. Los Angeles is still smoldering, the Crown Heights riots
are only a recent memory. This chance encounter will lead these two young men into a head-on confrontation in
a story that goes from Rockefeller Center to 145th St and everywhere
in-between. A piercingly insightful comedy-drama that takes a frank
and deeply human look at the problems of race in America.

RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 16+. CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER.
Skin and Bone is the second play in Jacqueline Goldfinger’s trilogy of
contemporary Southern Gothic plays. Aging sisters Midge and Madge run a
broken down bed and breakfast that has a date with a wrecking ball. When
a young woman appears searching for clues about a former guest, the
memories she stirs up send all three women down the dark and dusty road of a past better left hidden. Audiences
return to the quiet creepiness of this small North Florida town from Azuka’s
2011 World Premiere, the terrible girls.

Tigers Be Still is a quirky, endearing and deliciously dark new comedy,
critically acclaimed in its 2010 New York premiere. Sherry finds
herself unemployed, overwhelmed and hiding out in her childhood
house, but when she gets hired as a substitute art teacher, things begin
to look up! Now, if only her mother would get out of bed, her sister
would stop stealing her ex-fiancé’s knick-knacks, her first therapy patient
would do his homework, her new boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the escaped
tiger, everything would be just perfect.
