Sacred City Alive! 
By Mary Kay Williams and Edward J. Keating

 5th Wall Theatre

Sacred City Alive! is a theatrical musicale set in New York City about Fame, Fortune and Power competing for the soul of Everyone until Faith comes alive, even at ultimate sacrifice, guiding the way to lasting treasures. As a modern morality play and social satire, the show asks the question: “How can true
peace be achieved in our cities and in our hearts?” so that the poor and homeless find justice.

Sacred City Alive! re-affirms the original mission of the founders of the Acts of Faith Festival to bring inter-faith dialogue into a theatrical setting. The musicale will be a charity event to benefit ReEstablish Richmond helping refugees establish roots, build community and become self-sufficient.

Small Mouth Sounds
By Bess Wohl

Produced by CADENCE THEATRE COMPANY and VIRGINIA REPERTORY THEATRE
​
Six strangers escape city life for a silent retreat in the woods to confront their inner demons. But the vows of silence that seemed so attractive to them at the outset become constraints when they recognize the achingly human need to connect. At times wildly funny, at times deeply moving, this “quiet gem of a play” (Charles Isherwood, New York Times) shows how silence can often speak volumes.

Bloomsday
By Steven Dietz

CAT THEATRE

Thirty-five years ago Robert had a life-altering day in Dublin, Ireland by way of a James Joyce tour guide, Caithleen. Through the novel Ulysses, the city of Dublin and by extension, faith, the two find themselves intertwined again as Robert returns to Dublin in his 50's to find Caithleen, now going by Cait. Jeremiah 17:9-10 says "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick, who can understand it? I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds." After thirty-five years, what lies in these old hearts? What will be the fruit of this labor? Only one way to find out...   ​

Stupid Kid
By Sharr White

FIREHOUSE THEATRE

In the east coast premiere of Sharr White's very dark and powerful comedy, Chick Ford surprises his parents when he returns home from prison after serving only 14 years of a life sentence. He's been released to face a retrial for a murder that he confessed to committing when he was a teenager. The flat-broke Ford family has tried to rebuild their lives and overcome the shame and guilt of their son's gruesome crime. Now that Chick is back they're forced to reluctantly face the consequences of the past and chose a path forward. STUPID KID asks questions about whether faith in justice and family and goodness are real or merely illusions created by the powerful. ​

​STUPID KID contains strong language and scenes of physical and sexual violence.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead 
By Tom Stoppard

Quill Theatre

This hilarious play imagines the lives of two minor characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. As the story unfolds, they voice their confusion about the play that’s being performed without them, untangling bigger questions about life and death, reality and art. 

This brilliant script by Tom Stoppard won the Tony for Best Play in 1968 and continues to challenge audiences with its thoughtful, but hilarious reflections on what it means to be alive.  Mirroring the styles predominant in Absurdist Theatre and directly interweaving the text from Shakespeare’s most philosophical play, ‘Hamlet’, the two main characters explore themes of fate, pre-determinism, existence and eternity in a rapid-fire exchange that will have audiences thinking and laughing at the same time.

The Cake 
By Bekah Brunstetter

Della makes cakes, not judgment calls – those she leaves to her husband, Tim. But when the girl she helped raise comes back home to North Carolina to get married, and the fiancé is actually a fiancée, Della’s life gets turned upside down. With her church upbringing bearing down on her, she can’t really make a cake for such a wedding, can she? For the first time in her life, Della has to think for herself. From one of the writers of the TV smash This Is Us.

​The Revolutionists  
By Lauren Gunderson
​
TheatreLAB

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It's a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection… all to celebrate Women’s History Month.

Book and Lyrics by Douglas Jones, Music by Ron Barnett
​
Virginia Repertory Theatre

​Developed at Virginia Rep, this stirring drama with music shares in the joys, sorrows, and challenges Harriet Tubman faced while courageously freeing herself and hundreds of others from the bonds of slavery. As Harriet and her friend, Sarah Bradford, narrate her adventurous life, we get a closer look at this brave woman whose determination changed the world.

Genesis 12:1-3 
​Now the LORD had said to Abram:
"Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father's house,
To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
