SUBLIMINATION
Written by Frank Murdocco
8 Months after Trump has been elected, merch-maker Ethan is down on his luck. Out of work since designing merchandise for Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful campaign, he’s ready to close up shop. When a mysterious woman places a large order, things are looking up. The only issue is, she’s ordering T-shirts that read “Thank You, President Trump.” It isn’t long before Ethan finds himself a purveyor of conservative merchandise. As the asks get bigger and their relationship steepens, Ethan is faced with a pivotal decision – go broke with his integrity, or find himself rich with remorse.

The Scotsman - David Kettle - ★★★★
“Murdocco’s is a fluid, fluent performance, striding relentlessly around his messy apartment/workshop-of-a-stage; and director Noah Eisenberg keeps the pace rapid and the ideas and dilemmas flowing thick and fast.”
Fringe Biscuit Magazine - ★★★★★
“Deft character work populates the world, whilst Noah Eisenberg’s slick staging feels natural, yet increasingly claustrophobic”
Roviews - ★★★★★
“Within the first few minutes, I could tell I was going to be in for a really good show. The stage is deliberately sparse: a small factory, boxes stacked at the back, a table, a machine and a handful of plastic buckets. Nothing is there to distract you from the story.”
“The acting is on point, the writing is excellent and the simplicity of the production allows the central relationship to do all the work.”
“Definitely see this show, a brilliant piece of work”
The Student - - Sofia özkan -★★★★★
“What pleasantly surprised me was how natural and effortless the dialogue between Ethan and his mysterious customer ‘on the phone’ with him appeared. In fact, the sound and lighting were highly fluid and seamless, adding to the performance’s entire cohesiveness. Moreover, the set makes the most of the small stage, using intentionally simplistic elements that feel impactful by bringing focus to the story.”
QueerGuru - ★★★★★
“This Faustian play for today is one of the best little shows in town.”
TARRYTOWN
Book, Music and Lyrics by Adam Watcher
Ichabod Crane, a music teacher rebuilding his life, finds himself entangled with Katrina and Brom Van Brunt in a ninety-minute story of longing, desire, and identity. With a witty and deeply melodic score, Tarrytown is a poignant exploration of small-town restlessness and the haunting pull of connection.

As Time Goes By
by Danny Brown
After their Grindr hook-up is snowed in, Adam and David are forced to do the unimaginable: learn each other's names. Trapped in a post-coital snow globe, they exchange quips and digs in a misguided attempt to connect. As they confront their insecurities and shared identity as gay Jewish men, they begin to expose their tightest-held secrets. Will they part ways unscathed, or does sharing yourself with an unexpected stranger mean more than you bargained for?
“A solid production by director Noah Eisenberg and nuanced performances give Brown’s play its best possible showing”- Zachary Stewart (Theatermania)

Orion & the Goatman
by Will Murdock
ORION AND THE GOATMAN is an intimate campfire story brought to life. Two half-brothers, Luke and Logan, embark on their annual camping trip, a tradition they usually shared with their father. This year, the trip takes on a poignant purpose: to scatter their father's ashes. As they grapple with honoring their father's memory and confront the strains in their own relationship, a surprise visit from a terrifying figure compels them to unite through ritual, vulnerability, and a touch of celestial magic.
