A "Confessional" of A Recovering Catholic: The Musical

Having been raised Catholic, I have been in “recovery” for a long time: all those prayers you didn’t actually understand, those many times in that scary confessional and the constant guilt! I’m sorry if I’m not apologizing enough for it. How does a good Catholic girl navigate sex, abortion, career, mental health or… actually talking about feelings? By singing proper church hymns, of course, with none of the lyrics changed at all! A comedic musical solo performance, fresh from a wildly successful run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this show will get you really questioning what's in those Hail Marys!

A disillusioned young woman becomes obsessed with an aloof classmate. She begins studying his life, dismantling her own, and remaking herself in his image in hopes of becoming worthy of his attention. Imitation becomes a twisted form of intimacy. What begins as an innocent fantasy of self-improvement spirals into an uncontrollable fixation, threatening to expose all.

How to Become a Saint (While Wearing Pants)

WITNESS! As never before seen in Heaven or Earth! The ascension of St Joan of Arc into Heaven! Confusion about Sainthood! Discussions of VIRGINITY! Saints! Angels! Cake! Welcome to Saints’ Heaven, and congratulations for being here! You must be really great. Today is St. Marinos’ Saints Day and we’re so glad that you could join the other Canonized to celebrate him. The Angels have helped him prepare his reenactment for you all, and we hear that Jesus is making a cake. We might even have a special guest arriving - have you ever heard of Joan of Arc? How to Become a Saint (while wearing pants) uses clown, physical theater and music to explore sainthood. We highlight three saints who had major transitions in their lives: St. Marinos (female to monk), Margery Kempe (mother to virgin), and Joan of Arc (country girl to gender nonconforming military leader and icon). By looking at their stories, we ask: who gets to be a saint? What stories do we want to celebrate? And how does cake taste so good? Written & Performed by Lex Alston, Becca Canziani, Brooke Ferris, Lynn Hodeib, and Ania Upstill All tickets are available on a Pay-What-You-Can basis starting at $7.

Midlife Catharsis

This electric solo musical hurtles from Midwest meltdowns to New York neurosis to Costa Rican shorebreak. Returning home to NYC after six years away, Killy Dwyer blends live looping, alter ego antics, and the humbling task of learning to surf at 50 into a raw, funny, no holds barred exploration of burnout, bravery, and reinvention. With original songs, biting humor, and unexpected tenderness, the show dives into what happens when a woman stops "performing survival" and starts choosing herself. Equal parts comedy, confession, and catharsis, this feral, genre-defying ride asks how we outgrow the personas that once kept us alive and what it takes to begin again.

The Meeting

Five former performing artists convene a meeting in a fascist future, when all forms of art (and even the utterance of any art-related words) have been banned. These artists discuss what a person is to do in a world when one’s purpose in life has been eradicated. Over time they begin to learn even the most fascist society can never stop people from being who they truly are.
