Join Rosalind & Celia as they run away from the rules and restrictions of oppressive court life to JOIN THE CIRCUS!! There, under the Big Top, they find a pack of zany characters – clowns, jugglers, acrobats – and lots of singing and dancing …

It is an Election Year. What will politicians do and say to be in power? Take Macbeth, for example. This Fall, we’ve pared Macbeth down to reveal these Bad to the Bone characters just as they are – raw, ambitious, political, shadowy, dark. Join us!

The Asylum Players Lab has been working for 12 weeks to create their own original theatre pieces – works based on a pedagogy of social justice themes expressed with compassion and solution. We’ve been exploring the ISMS (ageism, classicism, racism, lookism, ableism, etc.) and the PHOBIAS (homophobia, xenophobia, etc.) that create conflict and cause damage – from a two-person altercation … to a global catastrophe. We look forward to sharing our work with you.
Famed theater director Charles Marowitz says, “Our job is to re-trace, re-discover, reconsider, and re-angle the classics – not simply regurgitate them.”
For the last several months, a group of Players has been doing just that with Shakespeare’s most famous play, and the result is “Steampunk Hamlet.” In this multimedia presentation, you’ll join the original Rebel without a Cause (played by not one, but four young actors), as he tries to make sense of a new step-father, a mother he barely recognizes, and a kingdom that has been turned upside down.
April 27th – 29th

The time? Somewhere around 1850, but who knows? Time runs differently, here in the Appalachian Hollows. A long-simmering feud between John and his sister-in-law Constance is about to come to yet another head … think Hatfields and McCoys … and a newly discovered illegitimate nephew doesn’t settle things down one bit. Philip and his son Lewis from over by France, Kentucky are lending a hand, but whose side are they really on? Things get really interesting when that city slicker Pandulph shows up and stirs the pot!
This Season’s RARE GEM presents you the highly poetic and poignant KING JOHN, circa Appalachia 1850. Don’t miss what might be your only chance to see this rarely performed play!

Girls just get in the way!
And in fact, that’s exactly what they do.
