MAINSTAGE SEASON

 

SAFE AT HOME by Gabriel Greene and Alex Levy Directed by Jack Reuler

*Second Ever Professional Production*

December 7 - 10, 2023 Venue: Riders Field- 7300 Rough Riders Trl, Frisco, TX 75034

In less than two hours, star pitcher Victor Castillo is set to take the mound for game 7 of the World Series. But when a rumor begins to circulate that Castillo may use the sport’s biggest stage as a political protest, the shock waves hit all corners of the stadium, from the owner’s box to the locker room. An engaging and provocative site-specific work designed to be performed inside a baseball stadium, Safe at Home examines the complex intersection between baseball, politics, and the American Dream.

Instead of creating nine interiors in a traditional theatre with a stationary audience, Riders Field expands the art form of theatre, with its existent spaces becoming stages for a cast of actors who repeat their scenes over and over as the patrons, not the cast, move from scene to scene.

SHAPE Written and directed by Kara-Lynn Vaeni

*Second Ever Professional Production*

February 8 - 25, 2024 Venue: D-Town CrossFit - 155 Parkhouse St, Dallas, TX 75207

This action-packed feminist comedy, written and directed by Southern Methodist University Assistant Professor Kara-Lynn Vaeni, offers a forthright look into fitness, body image, and how we define strength.  For this production, the audience will be ‘getting back in the gym’ both literally and figuratively and hopefully, as Itaca.com stated in its glowing review, "by show’s end, want(ing) to get back out there, hiking and biking and even swinging a few kettlebells."

 

PRODUCTION # 3 - To Be Announced Soon

 

June 2024

Turns out, the old Dog still has some new tricks up its sleeve. Another immersive experience awaits.
