Story
Fresh off the success of her groundbreaking first play, A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window tells the tragicomic story of a young bohemian couple in New York's Greenwich Village, struggling to do what's right in a world that rewards everything that's wrong. Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

Story
Before Guglielmo Marconi came along, there was no practical way to transmit telegraphic messages without wires. But when he harnessed the power of radio waves to send signals over long distances, what had once seemed impossible became a world-changing reality. In this original L.A. Theatre Works commission, we’ll get a firsthand, intimate view of the precocious Italian inventor, and what he had to overcome in his quest to revolutionize the way we communicate.

Story
Joe Moore is feeling under the weather. He isn't sick. He’s just worried about his grandson's recent diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumor. As if that isn't enough, a tall, skinny man suddenly appears under the old oak tree at the end of his street. The man doesn't talk to anybody and he acts as if he's invisible to everyone around him. He sticks out though. On Doreen Street, a jagged white man who walks in twisty, jerky motions definitely sticks out.

Story
В 1932 году выдающийся немецкий писатель Лион Фейхтвангер опубликовал роман "Иудейская война", в 1935 году последовал роман "Сыновья", в 1945-м — Настанет день. Вместе они составили трилогию, посвященную жизни римского историка и военачальника иудейского происхождения Иосифа Флавия. Священник первой чреды Иерусалимского храма, патриот и участник иудейского восстания, Иосиф бен Маттафий оказывается перед мучительным выбором: смириться с пленением или принять смерть, перейти на сторону римлян и предать веру отцов или погибнуть.

Story
Nesta peça, da atriz e escritora Mariana Lima, acompanhamos o plantão de uma médica-residente que, ao se deparar com um paciente que sofreu traumatismo craniano, passa a investigar o funcionamento do cérebro humano e sua relação com as emoções e a linguagem. Mesclando ciência, literatura e performance, a partir dos diários, notas de leitura e descrições médicas da autora-protagonista, refletimos sobre temas instigantes, que deslocam a sensibilidade de leitores e ouvintes.

Story
Ревизор — знаменитая комедия в пяти действиях русского писателя Николая Васильевича Гоголя. Годом написания считается 1835 год. Молодого человека, поселившегося в саратовской гостинице, местные чиновники по ошибке принимают за ревизора и всячески стараются услужить ему. На самом деле, Хлестаков — мелкий чиновник из Петербурга, пытающийся жить на широкую ногу, но не имеющий для этого средств. Все деньги, присылаемые ему отцом, он мгновенно прогуливает. А тут случается такая оказия: чиновники сами и с удовольствием снабжают его деньгами.
