In a time-twisted riff on the nature of obsession and old-testament sacrifice, Soren Kierkegaard needs to get into the mind of Abraham at that moment on the mountain with the boy and the knife. And then there's a fiancée to repel, a father to satisfy, and 20th-century philosophy to invent.

You know how sometimes it seems impossible to make a decision about anything, because a part of you says one thing, another part of you says something else, and your gut instinct urges you in yet another direction? Meanwhile, you're distracted because you're hungry even though you ate an hour ago and really should be at the gym. In The Landlord these voices in your head materialize as characters on the stage. This original play offers a comedic look into one man's inner journey as he battles for clarity, identity and personal satisfaction. The Landlord crosses boundaries of performance genres to examine the ever pressing human question, who am I? ...

Little Red:Lost in the Woods brings you the exclusive investigation of the story that's gripping the nation; a young girl in a red hood has been attacked by an "allegedly" big bad wolf. Make up your own mind, if you can, as you witness the multi-media frenzy that consumes the truth of this classic tale. Toy Box Theatre Company presents this world premiere production featuring a girl, her mother, a grandmother, a wolf, and a couple of lawyers all sharing the stage with a live newscast.

This bold adaptation of Christopher Marlowe's classic play Doctor Faustus examines the spiritual forces that control one man's ambitious life. In this timeless allegory, enhanced by new musical composition and movement, angels and demons fight for control of Faustus' soul as he makes a pact with the devil. Doctor Faustus invites you into a world where damnation and salvation are realities and there are always demons lurking around the corner.

Babies on doorsteps. Monsters under the bed. The impossibility of being a parent. Two generations struggle with their terrors and errors, learning to confront the limits of love and the presence of the big bad wolf.

Sound too good to be true? Maybe it's all just a dream.
