BOY VEY is a solo show ripped straight from Rachel’s teenage diary. A combination of coming-of-age, grappling with family history, and what it feels like to be a young Jewish woman with lesbian moms, this story encapsulates a modern experience of the third generation after the Holocaust.

Art Forms & Theatre Concepts presents Dot by Colman Domingo and directed by Miriam Crawford Grant. The Shealys, a West Philadelphia family, gather for the holidays in this hilarious and heartfelt comedy-drama. Dotty's memory is slipping as her three adult children – an overwhelmed attorney, a gay musicologist with marital problems, and an aspiring actress hoping to appear on Celebrity Mud Fight – clash over how best to care for their proud, lovable matriarch as well as for themselves. Memory is a funny thing; losing your memory and losing your mind are two completely different things!

Celebrate the 125th anniversary of Dracula! Tiptoe behind the scenes of the world’s most enduring literary horror with Dacre Stoker, international bestselling author, Dracula scholar, and descendant of Bram Stoker, and Andrea St. Amand, evidential psychic medium and internationally recognized paranormal expert. Through an audio/visual presentation with dramatic readings by Braxton Williams playing Bram Stoker, they unravel the influences, superstitions and non-fictional events that led to the creation of this beloved supernatural novel. Join them as they reveal unpublished portions of the novel, disclose the recently discovered location of Castle Dracula, and foray into the brilliant mind and influences that created, Dracula . . . if you dare.

This one-woman show brings to life the story of literary icon Dorothy Parker. On the eve of her death, and determined to be remembered as more than the creator of such quips as ‘I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy’, Dorothy takes a pilgrimage through her own past. Invoking the literary scene of 1930’s New York City, from writing copy at Vogue Magazine to theatrical reviews at Vanity Fair, to the famed Algonquin Round Table, You Might As Well Live explores Dorothy as she climbs the ladder of success, fighting for acclaim and recognition as a female author.
