SUMMARY:Espejo: Clean
DESCRIPTION:The lives of two women with vastly different life experiences intersect at a resort in Cancún. Adriana manages the housekeeping staff and a world away from the home she left. Sarah\, sister of the bride and the self-declared disaster of the family\, is just trying to keep it together at this destination wedding. A torrential downpour forces the women together\, and through a series of misunderstandings breaks open the secrets both women have taught themselves to ignore. A bilingual play with Spanish and English supertitles\, “Espejos: Clean” is a potent look at isolation and the power of being seen. \nBy Christine Quintana\nSpanish translation and adaptation by Paula Zelaya Cervantes \n

SUMMARY:The Beauty Queen of Leenane
DESCRIPTION:THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE BY MARTIN MCDONAGH\nDirected by James Pickering\nFeaturing Flora Coker\, Jaimelyn Gray\, Matt Specht\, and Leo Madson March 29-April 12\, 2025 \nABOUT THE PLAY\nGet ready for a wickedly sharp\, darkly hilarious ride through the rugged mountains of Connemara\, County Galway. THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE is a tale of family dysfunction at its finest—featuring Maureen Folan\, a lonely\, no-nonsense woman in her early forties\, and Mag\, her conniving\, overbearing mother who could give a masterclass in emotional sabotage.

Packed with biting humor and searing tension\, this McDonagh masterpiece won the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play—and trust us\, it’s earned every bit of that honor. \nCONTENT WARNING: This production contains adult subject matter.
