TEN MINUTES ON A BENCH by Kenneth Jones Friday, May 3 | 7 PM
A dating app called “Ten Minutes on a Bench” is the latest match-making craze, placing singles on a park bench to find common ground. The clock is ticking, but there’s no limit to the variety of quirky, heartbreaking, and humane conversations between a couple dozen characters looking for love. A new salty-sweet romantic comedy about first impressions, dogs and cats, drinkers and smokers, impulse and caution, conversation and chemistry — and the universal urge to connect. Sometimes, it only takes ten minutes.

HOW IT FEELS TO FALL FROM THE SKY by Dominic Finocchiaro Saturday, May 4 | 7 PM

ROOM 1214 by Michelle Kholos Brooks Sunday, May 5 | 4 PM
On Valentine's Day 2018, a nineteen-year-old boy walked into his former high school in Florida with an assault rifle. He killed fourteen students, three teachers, and injured seventeen more. Some of the worst damage was done when he shot into a Holocaust history class as students were studying hate crimes. Room 1214 is based on interviews with the real-life teacher of that class – who was in the room that fateful day. The play imagines what would happen if she had one more chance to teach in that classroom and her students got a final say. It begs the question, “Can a history teacher rewrite history?”
