Directed by Sarah Stepahin, this adaptaion used intersectional feminism to explore Shakespeare's classic tragedy of the Moor of Venice with an all-female ensemble. A stage reding was presented on October 11th, 2015, with a full production following on April 9th, 2016 to a rosuing response from out auidience.

First published in 1905, this searing essay by one of America's most prolific writers offers a stunning portrayel of one of history's hidden monsters. Written as a satirical "defense" of King Leopold of Belgium and his desportic rule of the Congo Free State, this piece plays in darkly humourous detail with how the worst of us view themselselves. Our adaptation will focus not only on the original source text, but also explore in vivid detail the various atrocities commited by Leopold and his forces. Stay tuned for production information for October 2016.
