By Chad Kaydo
Directed by Theresa Buchheister

UNTITLED GENERATION SHIP PLAY
By Diana Ly
Directed by Nana Dakin
Twelve years after the forced evacuation of the planet, the mayor of a city-spaceship commissions a play about Earth. Led by a cynical ex-theatremaker determined to avoid sentimentality, a ragtag group cull through their fading memories to figure out what they want to say about their lost home, from their new floating one.

HIPPOLYTUS IN SPACE
By Phillip Christian Smith
Directed by Jack Serio
Creon brings his young husband Phraedric, and his friend Brad, to a roaming space station to care for his troubled son Hippolytus, who has been left in isolation for five years due to an interstellar pandemic with an AI named Serena as his only company. When Creon returns to the Earth Planet to arrange marriages for his children, Phraedric's feelings for his stepson come to the fore, as does Brad's meddling.
