A slice-of-life comedy about parenthood: Daniel’s “friends with benefits” relationship comes to a screeching halt when he suddenly finds himself the new father to a months-premature baby. His guide in the strange purgatory of hospital living? A grizzled oversharing nurse named Caroline.

Our 100th Play!
Thirty-somethings Tequi and Cedric move to the Hudson River Valley seeking respite from the big city and to fulfill their dreams of a life in the country, following in the footsteps of generations of Black farmers before them. They close the deal on a small cottage with the perfect patch of land for planting and settle into their new home, but their dreams are tested when they discover that their one and only neighbor has an unsettling past— and a taste for fresh roadkill. Tequi and Cedric must confront their deepest fears in order to hold on to their dreams and to each other. A romantic thriller, Evans’s suspenseful work is a commission from the Audible Theater Emerging Playwrights Fund.
God’s Spies
by Bill Cain
directed by Hal Brooks
Thursday & Saturday – July 22 & 24 at 7pm ET
What do you write after you have written the world’s greatest play? Hopefully, not another Timon of Athens. Fortunately for Shakespeare, he is caught in the middle of the pandemic of 1603 and theaters are closed for a year. The plague opens his eyes to the mysteries of life and death when he is quarantined with his pod-companions-in-lockdown – a young Puritan lawyer and a mature streetwise prostitute. Will Shakespeare thrive creatively during quarantine? Will his follow up play be as disappointing as his last? Or will he write his masterpiece? A commission from Florida Studio Theater.
