Premiere Premieres Tickets
The third annual Premiere Premieres are just around the corner! Below are the the two shows written by LOCAL playwrights that we will be producing this year.
AFTERMATH by Mikennah Oleson
Aftermath centers on five normal people on a normal day. The catch? The world is ending… in an hour. A play about the lengths and extremes of who we love and what we’ll do to get there.
BATTLE CRY by Sigue Sueños
Battle Cry is a play on the complexities and navigation of the intersectionality of being Indigenous and queer.
