When he falls in love with an actress who is, unbeknownst to him, a member of the world's oldest profession, he realizes he's in way over his head."
  • May 24: Red Light Winter, written and directed by Adam Rapp. "On a trip to Amsterdam, two best friends find sex, love, literary inspiration and a lady in a red dress. But things really heat up when they come back to New York."

"All hell breaks loose as a married woman considers making Viagra Brownies to seduce her neighbor, a wife's poodle obsession gets out of hand, and two straight actors who loathe each other are cast as gay lovers in a TV movie."
  • June 21: Dance the Holy Ghost: A Play on Memory by Marcus Gardley, directed by Lynne Meadow. "A rich and mystical story of an African American family and the demons hiding in their family tree. A look at love, heritage, and the slippery slope of memory."
