Set in the near future. Sy and Theo, two souls, potentially soul mates, attempt to navigate their bond in a world enhanced by the wonders of technology, AI, and the occasional talking octopus. Building a relationship based on good music, deep conversation, and strong boundaries feels natural to them, but their beautiful bond finds itself struggling against a world turned upside down by the demons of human nature and the need for capital, causing them to wonder if, in a society designed to be more complex and visible than ever, it is possible for two simple souls to truly connect.

Dive into the world of homeless street crew The Mysfits. As tensions run high and the mystery of a member's disappearance looms,  each Mysfit must figure out what they want to fight for. Survival? Themselves? Each other? How much are they willing to lose in the process? They stay armed with their stories and dreams, some drugs, and some knowledge. Turns out they're much smarter than the world gives them credit for - and some of them refuse to be dismissed any longer. Through a fusion of music, dance, and poetry Hit the Pavement or Hoboloboactive explores survival and stories about what keeps us alive when we are at the highest of lows.

Unfinished
by: James Powers
September 19th, 2022 - 7pm

Unfinished is an absurdist musical comedy tackling the issues that many young adults find themselves in today. When life is suddenly halted and you are left wondering, “What do I do now?” In this world, we are introduced to Dude, a young person trying to become a writer. While he is trying to finish his song, many of the unfinished ideas, moments, and relationships from his life come to him and demand that he finish their part of the story first. In the process, we discover his own personal failings and feelings of inadequacy that have led him to this point in his life.

The Firebird 
by: Amanda Faye Martin
June 20th, 2022 - 7pm

In The Firebird, an 80 year old Byelorussian immigrant named Basya hosts Passover 2019 at her farmhouse in New Hampshire. Tensions rise as ghosts (both figurative and literal) arise to confront Basya and her granddaughter, Natasha, who discovers that her ex-girlfriend is now engaged to her cousin Alex. Both women attempt to run, but are forced to reckon with their respective histories before the holiday is over. The Firebird is a semi-magical living room tragicomedy that deals with displacement and nostalgia; the experience of being forever haunted by a past that calls you back to it.

2021 Season: Hope Reimagined

​

​In 2021, we determined Hope on our terms. As artists, a community, and a nation we need to create and reimagine Hope. Whether it is the ongoing challenges of Covid-19, teaching or being taught over zoom, bringing back in person theatre, or the racial injustice we continue to see in the fabric of our country; we can still move toward Hope Reimagined. Hope is what continues to inspire us to keep moving forward each day and it will continue to guide Theatre [Untitled] and our artistic community. ​

Best Friends
​By: Lilly Camp

Theatre [Untitled] Reading Series
​June 25, 2021 -8pm

Total loner Elle Summers only has room in her life for her graduation plan– getting into Harvard– until acquaintance Matt Durand asks her to take care of his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend, Haley Moore. Haley are quickly bonded, with their own hashtags, school-wide rumors about their relationship, even plans to move to New York together after high school. Both fiercely believe that no one else understands them– their abusive homes, their grand cross-country ambitions, their desperate need for one another… but they also believe that they are on the same page, even after Elle realizes she’s in love with Haley, and Haley doesn’t feel the same way. A coming of age story, Best Friend tracks three teenagers over their senior year of high school as they struggle to define themselves and their relationships to each other, and shows how coming out in the Internet era has only made things more complicated.
