Far Away
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by Meredith G. Healy
Ever since Joan’s childhood, she has witnessed people doing horrific things in the name of doing what is “right.” Caryl Churchill’s Far Away examines what happens in a world when no one, not even the cats and the rivers, can be trusted.

Dutchman
By Amiri Baraka
Directed by Josh Turner
Traveling on the city subway, everything seems innocent in the conversation between Clay and Lula, but things quickly escalate. Dutchman by Amiri Baraka, a highly influential and provocative storyteller of the Black experience, examines the damage to and silence of the Black community — a cycle we seem doomed to repeat.
