Can I Get a Witness?

An original work by the actors

Directed by Jeff McGrath

Ever experienced prejudice, isolation, or fear? We all have - our stories are unique and valuable. Creative writing and improvisational techniques have been used to create this unique theatrical production that explores the human condition of commonality.

Are You Now or Have You Ever Been

By Eric Bentley

Directed by Jeffrey T. Heyer

The McCarthy era’s anti-communist hearings destroyed lives and friendships. It was a phenomenon that paralyzed a whole generation and in a short time dried up the habits of trust and toleration. Dialogue in this play is taken from hearings before the House Committee Un-American Activities Committee.
