GRACE, OR THE ART OF CLIMBING
By Lauren Feldman
Directed by Mike Donahue
Dealing with her father’s illness, a painful breakup, and the inertia of depression, Emm decides to launch into the world of competitive rock-climbing. What ensues is her quest through the rugged (and often humorous) terrain of physical training and human relationships. Poetic and athletic, Grace, or the Art of Climbing is the journey of a young woman suspended between muscularity and vulnerability, falling and climbing, and the ardor and grace of being human.

GOOD EGG
By Dorothy Fortenberry
Directed by Snehal Desai
Responsible Meg has always taken care of her bipolar younger brother Matt. But when she decides to get pregnant—and have her embryos pre-screened for bipolar disorder—is she taking the idea of “being responsible” too far? Good Egg is a funny and surprising play about bioethics, siblings and the limits of unconditional love.
