or see Hecuba as part of your season flex subscription.

Mere days ago, Hekabe was Queen of Troy, now she’s a refugee of war. The Greeks are determined to sacrifice Hekabe’s daughter on Achilles’ tomb in gratitude for their victory. Her wealth and power are gone; and now, Hekabe lays prostrate before her enemy.

She’s never forgotten her own benevolence to this cowardly monarch when he so desperately begged her assistance. Will he return the favor? And if he doesn’t, can she avenge her loss?

Euripides’ tale of power, pride, and patriotism takes on new meaning in these times of mounting conflict.

It’s been a minute since Ann and Rachelle have seen each other; they’re both busy young professors. Ann’s heard about a new restaurant and invites Rachelle to celebrate the announcement of her tenure.

Little do they know that this restaurant is like no other – it seems they become the entertainment as the enigmatic server begins instigating battles and scoring their answers. But Ann and Rachelle are hungry and they didn’t come here to dramatize black plight – and, well, it’s too late to go back.

Goodwin’s play is a scary satire about what it means to get a seat at the table.

or see Mrs. Packard as part of your season flex subscription.

Elizabeth Packard was never a shrinking violet and her husband despises that about her. At his wit’s end, Pastor Theophilus Packard has his wife taken from her bath, nude and screaming, directly to an insane asylum. Pastor Packard doesn’t need any proof; it’s enough for him to claim she’s disruptive.

In 1861 Illinois, a woman’s sanity could be determined by her husband. Based on historical events, Mrs. Packard is the story of one woman’s struggle to confront the medical community and change the treatment of those with actual mental illness.
