BREAKDOWN

Undermain Theatre 2024-25 Season

ATHENA (A Regional Premiere)
by Gracie Gardner
Director TBA
Rehearsals: 8/13/24 – 9/4/24
Preview Performances: 9/5/24, 9/6/24
Performances: 9/7/24 – 9/29/24 (Thur. through Sat. at 7:30 pm and Sun. matinees at 2pm.)

SYNOPSIS: Mary Wallace and Athena are brave, and seventeen, and fencers training for the Junior Olympics. They practice together, they compete against each other, they spend their lives together. They wish they were friends. Undermain presents the regional premiere of Gracie Gardner’s searing look into two young women driven to make their way through the ranks of competitive fencing and their fascination with each other.

EXIT THE KING
by Eugene Ionesco
Director TBA
Rehearsals: 10/1/24 – 10/30/24
Preview Performances: 10/31 and 11/1
Performances: 11/2/24 – 11/24/24 (Thur. through Sat. at 7:30 pm and Sun. matinees at 2pm.)

SYNOPSIS: Ionesco’s absurdist comedy set in the crumbling throne-room of the palace in an unnamed country where King Berenger the First has only the duration of the play to live. Once, it seemed he ruled over an immense empire and commanded great armies, now his kingdom has shrunk to the confines of his garden wall. Refusing to accept his end, he is attended by his present and former Queens who must help him face the final inevitable truth of life: death.

BOX (A Regional Premiere)
by Jarret King
Director Jiles R. King II
Rehearsals: 1/28/25 – 2/26/25
Preview Performances: 2/27 and 2/28
Performances: 2/29/25 – 3/23/25 (Thur. through Sat. at 7:30 pm and Sun. matinees at 2pm.)

SYNOPSIS: Part magic show, part historical speculation, part romantic drama—this play explores the harrowing story of Henry Box Brown, the abolitionist lecturer and early magician who escaped slavery by mailing himself to freedom. Using actual magic, this world premiere imagines an unwritten chapter in the story of one of history’s most overlooked folk heroes.

HELLO KITTY SYNDROME (A Regional Premiere)
by Brian Dang
Rehearsals: 4/1/25 - 4/30/25
Performances: 5/1/25 - 5/25/25 (Thur. through Sat. at 7:30 pm and Sun. matinees at 2pm.)

SYNOPSIS: HK is a little lost. They just quit their job as a police officer, broke up with their cowboy partner, and made a vendetta with their brother-in-law. They find themselves caught in the throes of a family drama, noir, and romance. And worst of all, nobody will stop commenting on the fact that they are wearing a Hello Kitty™ mascot costume (but it’s slightly off because of copyright laws)
