A razor-sharp exploration of obsession, identity, and the fragile bonds of chosen family, set against the backdrop of opera’s soaring passions. When two friends—one a flamboyant opera aficionado, the other quietly unraveling—collide over love and betrayal, their witty banter spirals into a devastating confrontation that exposes the cost of living for art versus living for truth. At once hilarious and heartbreaking, this play asks: how far will we go to protect the illusions that define us?

In 1883, two women—one married to the scientist inventing the lightbulb, the other to the reverend resisting it—sit down over birthday cake to debate the future. Sides aren’t what you expect and parlor talk jolts from lightbulbs to AI in a reality-bending collision of past, present, and the terrifying hope of technology racing faster than we can reckon with.

Fresh from it's sold-out Off-Broadway run, Ripple Effect's production of Building the Wall, by Tony-Award- and Pulitzer-Prize-Winning playwright Robert Schenkkan.

Directed by BST board member Brent Buell, this 2016 dystopian political thriller explores the extreme consequences of anti-immigration rhetoric and policies. Set in 2019, it follows a conversation between a former private prison warden, Rick, and Gloria, a professor, as he faces sentencing for atrocities committed in detention centers after a major terrorist attack leads to martial law. With this production, we will question just how dystopian this story could be and ask where we as a country are headed.

This masterpiece, which led to Beckett's 1969 Nobel Prize for Literature, is a hauntingly comic meditation on resilience and the human spirit. Trapped waist-deep—and later neck-deep—in earth, Winnie clings to optimism and routine as her world literally closes in around her. Beckett transforms this stark image into a powerful exploration of hope, habit, and the absurdity of existence, reminding us that even in the most confining circumstances, the will to endure—and to find joy—persists.

PETER SAMELSON insists he doesn’t do magic, he only helps people to see it. He is an illusionist/entertainer/philosopher, blending simplicity and sophistication as he provokes thought and inspires wonder.

Penn & Teller have praised Samelson as “one of the greatest living magicians.” Samelson, master magician and off -Broadway star, literally wrote the book on Theatrical Magic. Co-founder of New York City’s longest running off-Broadway magic show Monday Night Magic and frequent performer at Speakeasy Magick at the McKittrick Hotel, Peter has been hailed as New York’s most distinguished illusionist, entertainer, and philosopher.

Christened “the soft-spoken conceptualist of sorcery” by The New York Times, Peter Samelson is a recipient of the Merlin Award for Lifetime Achievement, Peter is one of the most sought after theatrical wizards. He has created magic for some of Broadway’s biggest plays and musicals including Leap of Faith, Harvey, The Cherry Orchard, The Winter's Tale, the National Tour of Pippin, the musical Houdini, Carnival at the Papermill Playhouse, Tom Stoppard’s Travesties, and the Menotti opera The Consul. Additionally, Peter has created and starred in three critically acclaimed one-man off-Broadway shows: The Magician, PaperWork, and Radnevsky’s Real Magic.

What distinguishes Peter from other artists in the field of Illusion is his commitment to making Magic an Art. His performance is more than mere entertainment, touching the hearts of his audiences in a way few evenings can.

Three sisters reunite in their late father’s backyard, transforming the task of sorting through his belongings into a raw, electrifying reimagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear. As childhood games collide with adult grief, the sisters slip between roles—parent and child, ruler and rebel—exposing the stormy legacy of family, memory, and forgiveness. With biting humor and aching honesty, the play explores how we inherit not just possessions, but wounds and love, asking: how do we keep hold of selfhood as we weather the past together?

WORLD PREMIER!

A poignant, time-hopping tapestry that explores the fierce, funny, and often fraught bonds between mothers and daughters spanning across generations. This is a story about finding freedom in establishing who we are at our core—sometimes in spite of, sometimes because of—the tangled relationships that binds us. At its heart, this play is a moving meditation on the search for connection and understanding—how the secrets we keep, the words we withhold, and the histories we inherit, shape who we are. With wit and raw honesty, we witness the messy beauty of family: the longing to be seen, the ache of forgiveness, and the liberating power of finally standing strong in our own truth.

On a haunted Christmas Eve, the miser Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by a series of supernatural spirits who confront him with eerie visions of the past, present, and future, leading him toward redemption and renewed outlook on life.

Acting Artistic Director Mark Perry performs all 53 characters in Dickens’s story, bringing its ghosts, heroes, and holiday revelers vividly to life. In a special appearance, local artist Carmen Borgia creates live foley sound effects onstage, conjuring the story’s ghostly knocks, rattling chains, windswept nights, and other eerie special effects in real time for a uniquely immersive experience.
