IT PAYS TO DREAM by Kat Sotelo
A doo-wop trio battles for stardom with effervescent, ravenous appetite. Immersed in a ritualistic lottery drawing, they vie for the title of Ping Pong Show’s next starlet. In sugary pop choreography, CCTV video feeds, and interactive prizes, they shall captivate the audience with dewey-eyed fervor and an impulse to destroy – conjuring a fever dream of ambition and chaos that tests the limits of glory, exploitation, and spectacle – one hole at a time.
Performers: Jake Dibeler + Gigi del Rosario

HEIST! by Elise Wien
Mari is mid-abortion when the nationwide ban goes into effect. Instead of completing the procedure, Mari’s doctor goes “pencils down” and leaves her with a half-human, half-flesh creature attached to her body. Mari names it Bippo and carries it around in her stolen designer handbag. Tonight, Mari and Bippo plan a jewel heist.
Director: Gabby Farrah, Actor 1: Elyse Steingold, Actor 2: TBD
