Maude, a lonely, surly, storefront psychic has accepted that love is not in the cards for her. She can see the future and knows this to be true. But when Jeremy, a despondent love-hungry accountant threatens to end it all if she sees no love for him, she must wrestle with fate, and in changing his destiny, change her own. What really drives this play home is its honesty. It’s a story about two people who carry virtual ‘no trespass’ signs around their personal lives yet yearn for one last chance at happiness.
"FORTUNE carries all of the elements that Laufer’s expanding corps of devotees love her for: blunt, beautiful, funny dialogue; an empathic insight into the aches, conflicts and dreams that make us human; a knack for revealing the hidden significance of our most trivial and foolhardy impulses; and a bold, death-defying willingness to face the awful truth and still wrap things up on a note of sweetness and hope." - Metro Active Sonoma

Men Overboard by Rich Orloff
Written by Rich Orloff and Directed by Kevin McKendrick
Winner of the Long Beach Playhouse New Play Contest and a finalist for the Woodward-Newman New Play Award, Men Overboard, focuses on a Bar Mitzvah for a boy who doubts he’s ready to become a man. The boy’s Bar Mitzvah brings together his politician father and two brothers, a therapist, and a Buddhist monk. Add their fading but forceful father and the boy’s Bar Mitzvah tutor, a woman who loves the boy and possibly one of his uncles, and it’s easy to see that the boy is torn between obedience and defiance of his father.
Tensions grow, affecting everyone in the family, until anger becomes abuse and it becomes clear that the family’s status quo is no longer an option. Men Overboard asks “What makes a man?” as it explores the responsibility each of us has to protect the souls of those we love.

Dear Anne, from Nina
by Claudia Haas and directed by Zelda Dean
In 1940, a young Iowa farm girl picked the name of a pen pal out of a hat: Anne Frank, for a brief but heartfelt correspondence. While Nina and her sister Jeannie strive to escape their Iowa farm home and be “citizens of the world”, Anne and Margot long for a world where they could live without restrictions and hate.

Until the Flood by Dael Orlandersmith
The political power of theatre is confirmed in this quietly, moving show which captures the reactions of Ferguson, MO residents to the 2014 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. The play is a composite of a variety of voices, from angry teenagers to reflective elders, all struggling to come to terms with the issue of race on its most personal level – their own. This is a collaboration between Bema Productions, Langham Court Theatre and Attitude Theatre .

“This play gives expression to America’s racial stalemate with lyrical flow. Written with as much empathy as outrage ’Until the Flood’ quietly assures that the struggle lives on.” – Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times.

Leipzig by Wendy Graf
A multi award-winning play that explores the journey of an Irish Catholic family when the mother descends into Alzheimer’s, unwittingly revealing her long-held secret that she is a Jewish child refugee of the Holocaust. Past and present collide in a psychological homecoming that raises deep and ultimately moving questions about identity. The play is a beautiful exploration of religious identity, loyalty, parental bonds and attendant feelings of safety or threat. It is a plea for inclusion at a time of fear and religious polarization.
