Aleshea Harris explores the ancient, the modern, the mythic, and the epic in her darkly comedic, tragic, and unapologetic play, IS GOD IS. Explored through heightened language aided by artistic typography, the play is about two abandoned twin sisters who’ve paved their way through life with visible burns and scars. Having already gone through the trauma of raising themselves and one another, they find out that their parents are not only alive, but that their father’s vengeance is what sparked the fire that displaced them. With their mother on her deathbed, will they fulfill her dying wish by killing their only other biological parent and the do-over family he has replaced them with?

Set in Alanducía, Spain in the tense years before the Spanish Civil War, three families vie for love and control as they navigate the confines of society. With a landscape of poetic imagery, Lorca creates a fluid blend of poetry and plot, building to the play’s tragic conclusion. Providing a lucid vision of a people gripped by passion, fighting against the constraints of a society that seems made to trap them. Lorca asks how we can rise above the limitations of the world and in the face of division and pain challenges us to live and love boldly.

When an adult woman moves back in with her mother and sister after a failed relationship, their tumultuous relationship from childhood to adolescence to adulthood is rehashed in a non-linear timeline.

Inner Child Under the Sun (IS-US) is a two-week Big Brother-like, sleepaway summer camp, where young adults are paired up with children to engage in typical summer camp activities like arts and crafts, rock climbing and hiking. While the young adult or “Core” is meant to reconnect with their inner child, they also serve as a mentor for the “Child” partner. When Alex, a jobless college graduate, is chosen as one of the Cores, he doesn’t expect to lose track of time & memory with a kid that seems eerily familiar. The lovechild of Midsommar, Get Out, and The Sixth Sense, AND THIS IS WHERE WE is a psychological dramedy that invites you to question what makes us become who we are and what we leave behind.

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. Jean picks up Gordon’s phone and suddenly becomes enwrapped in his life – between his mother, his widow, his brother, and his work associates. Jean finds herself entangled in a romantic relationship with Gordon’s brother, Dwight, and upon learning Gordon sells organs on the black market, just as entangled in his work. A play about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

Elijah’s been having nightmares. Every night when he dreams, he sees himself and his wife, Amanda, coming to their untimely demise in various grisly manners. Elijah’s visions of death begin bleeding into his day to day life, and he begins to turn to metaphysical methods in an effort to find the cause of his condition. As a rift between Amanda and Elijah grows as they both stubbornly stick to their different approaches and mentalities to dealing with Elijah’s condition, past wounds bubble up to the surface. Will Elijah and Amanda struggle break free from the cycle or succumb to being trapped for all eternity?
