THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE

When a servant girl sacrifices everything to protect an abandoned child, the boy’s greedy mother comes to reclaim him, and the ancient tradition of the Chalk Circle is invoked. Bertolt Brecht’s musical epic imaginatively explores human survival, justice, atonement and love.

MR. MARMALADE

Lucy is a four-year-old girl with a very active imagination. Unfortunately, her very adult imaginary friend Mr. Marmalade doesn’t have much time for her. Take a wild ride with this savage black comedy about the child in each of us.

THE DEBASERS

When their lead guitarist disappears on a drug- and alcohol-fueled bender, indie-punk band The Debasers are forced to make a tough decision about their future. This biting comedy by UH playwright Eric Moore explores addiction, relationships and artistic integrity in the social media era.
