Bromeo & Juliet
by Next Stage
BROMEO & JULIET is a comedic and internal re-telling of the classic Shakespeare show that swerves into the inner monologues and complex relationships of the actors performing it. Realized with a meta-theatrical flair, the play combines contemporary, irreverent humor with the good old Bard in a fast-paced hour, making it perfect for both theatre people and regular folks.
Next Stage is a quirky little content initiative designed to cultivate new creative works. This will be the second Theatre Crude collaboration directed by Brazil/written by McNatt since KISSING BOOTH in 2021 – they're quite the cutie pair.

Pearl is hosting a fabulous party, and all of society is going to be there. There’s just one rule: no talking politics. When one of her guests, a candidate for US Senate, discovers his campaign is dead broke, his only choice is to break the rule before he breaks the bank.
In the first presentation of its kind, Whatever Works will broadcast our live recording of this play to our presenting partners at the East Overton JCC, located in scenic East Overton, New York.
A partnership between Emily Comisar, David Pilchman, and Zachary Scalzo, Whatever Works specializes in collaboratively devised multimedia performances integrated with curated aural experiences, where old and new technology meet.

Equilibrium
by Perpetual Motion Dance
Perpetual Motion Dance, evocative and visceral, will combine visually stunning effects with the beauty and athleticism of the dancers to immerse audiences in an evening-length performance of Equilibrium. Inspired by the intersection of human characteristics derived from the influences of the zodiac calendar and the reactive qualities of earth, fire, wind, and water, this collection of choreographic works creates a back and forth interplay between harmony and discourse. The physical exploration of searching for balance among the natural elements and the collision of oppositional forces that drives human nature is our attempt to reach Equilibrium.
Perpetual Motion Dance is a modern and aerial dance company based in Oklahoma City with a mission to “create, develop and inspire innovative dance.” They blend post modern and aerial dance techniques to create dance on all planes. PMD is in their 23rd season of creating annual original concerts in addition to regional and national touring. PMD is also committed to educating both adults and youth through classes, workshops, and residencies.

Laugh Lab
by Justin Mayer
In Laugh Lab, "experimental theatre" is taken to its logical conclusion. Dr. Doctor Ph.D., the nation's leading "humorologist," is very serious about having fun, and to that end, he has devised a battery of experiments to be performed for, with, and on an audience of test subjects to empirically determine what Funny is.
Justin Mayer is a professional goofball who somehow paid attention long enough to write something. He hopes you like whatever this is and thanks you very much for sharing a part of your time with the show. He holds an MA with Merit from LAMDA, is a member of AEA, and BAE. Learn more at www.mayerforhire.com. Or don't; it's up to you.

The Mammoth Hunter's Daughter
by KaMeL Pop Productions
Come one, come all, and travel from the Mammoth Steppe of Siberia to the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma and Texas to see and hear my mother's story, the story of The Mammoth Hunter’s Daughter.
Live art will be performed. Original music will be heard. And mammoth hunters and oil basins of a multitude of centuries will be explored while we ask the question, "Should all your stories be forgotten because an algorithm can't shill further than one standard deviation from the mean?"
Mary Au Leery resides in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and has been performing under various pseudonyms since childhood. She uses performance and new media art to probe the connections people make with each other and with their pasts during times of war, and sometimes she asks how they fared while navigating time and technology. She was born to a family of mammoth hunters.

Opera Orrore: Cask of Amontillado
by KarenaSings Presents
A premiere performance from a premiere company, OPERA ORRORE: CASK OF AMONTILLADO takes Edgar Allan Poe's infamous short story exploring the extremes of vengeance and retribution and in this retelling bids Montresor sing his confessional tale to the attending audience as a one act performance accompanied by piano.
Born and bred in Central Oklahoma, Karena Van Horn has been writing stories ever since the Broccoli Invasion incident of her childhood, and making up songs for even longer than that. Trained as a classical singer, it is with the support of her amazing Patrons of the Arts over on her Patreon page that she is achieving a lifelong dream as "KarenaSings Presents" with her first one act composition: OPERA ORRORE: CASK OF AMONTILLADO.
