About the Show

February 17 - March 24, 2024

conceived and performed by BILL IRWIN

Tony Award-winning actor and master clown Bill Irwin has spent a lifetime captivated by Samuel Beckett. The depth of his devotion for the famed Irish writer plays out onstage in a nonstop display of jovial verbal and physical comedy that has become Irwin’s signature. With little more than a microphone and a podium, Irwin lets the audience in on the creative process of engaging with Beckett’s undeniably rich language, providing a primer in clowning along the way. In addition to exploring texts by one of the most influential theater voices of the past century, audiences will fall in love with Irwin’s unique and endearing approach to Beckett’s work.

March 1-24, 2024

by Philip Ridley, directed by Callie Aho

Meet Jill and Ollie, a young couple with a baby on the way who dream of being homeowners. When the mysterious Ms. Dee offers them an almost-too-good-to-be-true chance to climb the property ladder, they jump at it. The only catch? The two must participate in a government project to renovate a house in a run-down neighborhood. Room by room, renovations progress, and Jill and Ollie become more obsessed with creating their dream home. But just how far they are willing to go to find perfection may shock you…

Written by Philip Ridley, RADIANT VERMIN is a biting commentary on consumerism, gentrification, and the moral cost of the pursuit of perfection. With wickedly funny dialogue, surreal imagery, and provocative themes, this play that will challenge, entertain, and stick with you long after the stage lights go down.
