The lineup includes Tovah Feldshuh in Ronnie Cohen and Jane Beale's Witnessed by the World and Trevor Nunn's stage adaptation of the Samuel Beckett radio play All That Fall. The latter production, starring Eileen Atkins and Michael Gambon, was performed in London in 2012. Due to restrictions set by the Beckett estate, the production is presented in the form of a live radio play, with actors holding scripts and using minimal props.

I Can See Clearly Now (The Wheelchair On My Face)
By Sonya Kelly
Directed by Gina Moxley

Two Point Oh

With Jack Noseworthy, Karron Graves, James Ludwig, Antoinette LaVecchia and Michael Sean McGuinness

"Elliot Leeds is dead — or is he? A pioneering software mogul, Elliot makes headlines one last time when his private jet plunges into the Pacific. Three months later, Melanie, his grief-paralyzed widow, discovers Elliot's greatest creation: a virtual-reality simulation of himself that he masterminded before his demise. Programmed with the most advanced artificial intelligence, thousands of hours of his recorded thoughts and speech, and a digital re-creation of his face and body, 'Elliot 2.0' is a talking, thinking, virtual soul. The question is... is he alive?" Jericho
By Jack Canfora
Directed by Evan Bergman
Oct. 4-Nov. 3

"In 2005, a Jewish 9/11 survivor and a Palestinian 9/11 widow find themselves embroiled in one family's personal and political dramas. With surprising humor and wit, Jericho reminds us that all struggles are ultimately personal."

The English Bride

"The mystery wasn't what happened. They mystery was why. In this roller coaster of suspense, a Mossad agent unravels the story surrounding Englishwoman Eileen Finney and the Arab man with whom she has fallen in love, in a play inspired by a real-life failed bombing attempt of an El Al flight out of London in 1986."
