As a special add-on to our season, we are thrilled to be collaborating with Silent Echo Theater Company and Sing Bend to present a special workshop performance of a brand new, original musical, VOICELESS by Deena Kamm and Anne Fenn. The story is based on Fenn’s real-life experience with muscle tension dysphonia (a functional neurological disorder), which caused her to lose her speaking voice for a year, with no obvious physical explanation. You won't want to miss your opportunity to see this original piece!​
ALMOST, MAINE
WRITTEN BY JOHN CARIANI
DIRECTED BY DEBBIE LEVIN
​
September 20 - October 13, 2024 (select dates)
​
Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.​
​
““Sweet, poignant, and witty. Nearly perfect. ALMOST, MAINE’s charm is real. [It] packs wit, earns its laughs and, like love, surprises you.” —New York Daily News.

​​​​​​​​​VENUS IN FUR
BY DAVID IVES
DIRECTED BY TBD
​
February 2026 (select dates)
​
Thomas, a beleaguered playwright/director, is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus in Fur. Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress—oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas’ interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win. A mysterious, funny, erotic drama that represents yet another departure for the multifaceted David Ives.​
​
“You want funny? You want sexy? Then you’ll want to see VENUS IN FUR.” —New Jersey Newsroom.
This production is part of new ETC NEXT program which seeks to provide our audience with theatre that is edgy, thought-provoking, conversation-starting, and more!
