Winner of the 2022 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play, and named one of the best plays of 2022 by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vulture, and Time Out New York, Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) shines a poignant light on parenthood and financial insecurity in this exquisitely hopeful new play.
Seated in a small office cubicle, two fathers unexpectedly allow one another into their fragile worlds. Ryan is a straight, white, recently divorced plant worker seeking to buy back a plot of land that once belonged to his family, Keith is black, the gay single caretaker of a foster daughter, and a mortgage
broker. At this desk in the middle of America, loan talk opens up into a discussion about the chokehold of financial insecurity and a bond over the precariousness of parenthood. Hunter commingles two disparate experiences of marginality with humor, empathy and wrenching honesty. Less

If you thought having Robert DeNiro as your father in law was scary, think again! When our young witch and her long time boyfriend get engaged, it’s time to MEET THE WITCHES. The petrifying mother, the promiscuous sister and Wowen Wilson, the neighbour, are the bizarre trio we meet once our young couple arrive home. The mother, Terrorfina instantly decides this young mortal man is not worthy enough for her daughters love and puts him to the test. Based on the hit movies “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers”, we take a ride though all things 90’s including Baywatch, 90210, Judge Judy along with songs by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Christina Aguilera, Natalie Imbuglia, INXS, Backstreet Boys and lots more. Come along and find out if our young mortal survives meeting the Witches! Less

by zadie kennedy mccracken
Thea and Arvy are best friends. The bestest friends. They’re good at being best friends. They’re so good at being best friends. They’re the best friends to ever best friend. And everything is totally, absolutely, completely normal.
In the long, dark night of Thea and Arvy’s weekly sleepover, they swap stories, drink vodka, talk boys, and make blood oaths, vowing they’ll never leave each other’s sides.
But Thea has a secret, one which could unravel the very fabric of their friendship; and who is it that keeps knocking at their door?
Darkly funny and deeply moving, You’re Being Dramatic is a devastating and beautiful new play from emerging writer/director Zadie Kennedy Mccracken, exploring intimacy, queer identity, patriarchy, and the agony of unfulfilled desire.
Theatre Works has a lockout policy for latecomers. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to ensure you don’t miss out.
