Synopsis

Join The Gift for an exciting 2024/2025 Season!

TOPDOG/UNDERDOG

by Suzan-Lori Parks

Directed by Shanésia Davis

Featuring Ensemble Members Martel Manning and Gregory Fenner

This darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln (Manning) and Booth (Fenner), names given to them as a joke by their father. Haunted by the past and their obsession with the street con game, three-card monte, the brothers come to learn the true nature of their history.

September 12- October 20, 2024

CYGNUS (world premiere)

by Susan Soon He Stanton

Directed by Co-Artistic Brittany Burch

Cydney believes an angel rescued her from an ineffable trauma, and the truth may prove stranger than she imagines. In this mythic, hilarious, and poetic new play, a burnt feather may illuminate the possibility of a divine intervention.

February 6 – March 16, 2025

A 10-minute performance festival of new work written, directed, and performed by various local artists.
