Walled In

A new comedy written and performed by Zack Fine

Directed by Diana Buirski
Created in Collaboration with Christopher Tramantana


What really happened inside Henry David Thoreau’s cabin at Walden Pond? Wonder no more! Self-proclaimed Thoreau scholar, Charles Rucklemore III, will show you the exact truth - or something really, really close to it. Part fantasy, part mythology, part clown-show, and all inspired by Thoreau's Walden, Walled In is the story of one man’s determination to live the life he has imagined.

Searching For God In Suburbia

by Matthew Hoverman

7 short supernatural comedies about life on the edge...of town.

DIrected by David Kennedy.

In these seven short plays, the standard suburban universe is turned topsy-turvy. As interconnected characters go about their daily lives – tucking in their kids at bedtime, dealing with infidelity, making time for the gym – the unexpected is always just around the corner. Sometimes it’s the boogeyman, or an alien invasion, or just the surprise of a true human connection.
