MR. JOY (January 24 - February 15, 2015), World premiere by Daniel Beaty. 

What happened to Mr. Joy? A Harlem community is disrupted when the Chinese immigrant’s shoe repair shop, a neighborhood pillar for decades, does not open its doors. Nine customers, ranging from 11-year-old Clarissa, a budding shoe designer, to Bessie, a “gangsta granny,” reflect on the shop owner’s impact in this moving exploration of one community’s efforts to heal in order to dream again.

ELEMENO PEA (February 28 - March 22, 2015), by Molly Smith Metzler. 

Blue-collar Buffalo meets beachfront splendor when Devon visits the sprawling Martha’s Vineyard estate where her sister Simone is employed as a personal assistant. Simone’s new gig is complete with a six-figure salary, a preppy boyfriend with a yacht, and a handsome clothing allowance—all courtesy of trophy wife Michaela, her boss. But when Michaela crashes sisters’ weekend, Devon learns the price for the pampered life.

OBLIVION (March 21 - April 26, 2015), by Carly Mensch.

Uber-hip Brooklynites Pam and Dixon take pride in their progressive approach to parenting. But when their 16-year-old daughter Julie lies about where she spent the weekend, their cool façade crumbles. With the help of Julie’s friend Bernard, a filmmaker in the making, this smart comedy takes a humorous look at Nietzsche, famed film critic Pauline Kael, and what it means to fight for the ones you love.

MIDSUMMER (May 9 -31, 2015), by David Greig & Gordon McIntyre. 

Midsummer in Edinburgh turns into a weekend of wild abandon when divorce lawyer Helena meets small-time crook Bob in a basement wine bar. With a wad of ill-gotten cash in hand and a local gangster on their heels, the unlikely pair goes on an alcohol- and adventure-filled romp, discovering that there are second chances at life—and love.
