The Violet Sisters, Staged Reading
2025-03-30 14:00 - 15:30
The Violet Sisters by Gina Femia
featuring Charlette Augusta, Camilla Bastos, and Kaitlyn Crockett.
A staged reading of Gina Femia’s contemporary play “The Violet Sisters” – a story of navigating familial
bonds, domestic abuse survivorship, and resilience in the wake of tragedy.
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Pam comes home to Brooklyn to attend her father’s funeral. When she
arrives, she is greeted by an angry sister, a dilapidated house, and a past she can’t escape. Despite all of
her best intentions, the conversation quickly turns tense and the two sisters are forced to deal with all
that they have let slip away, all the words that have been left unsaid for years. A two-person play with
Gina’s trademark comedic-dramatic expertise that portrays real life nuances of complicated
relationships, “The Violet Sisters” is a play about forgiving when you cannot bring yourself to forget.
Content Transparency: This play contains conversations around abuse, abusive relationships, grief, the
death of a parent. In addition, there is a moment of self harm described within the stage directions – this
section will be read aloud but not depicted.
“The Violet Sisters” explores abuse and abusive relationships. If you or anyone you know is struggling
with a toxic relationship, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
Please note: A staged reading has actors with scripts in hand so that the playwright can work on the play until the day of.

It's Not Faire - Staged Reading
2025-04-13 12:30 - 15:30
“It’s Not Faire” is a farcical sex-comedy about a SoundCloud rapper/lovable airhead named Tripp who gets a job as a fry cook at the Renaissance Faire to pay for his last year of college after losing his scholarship due to poor grades and lack of motivation. Guided by the memory of his absent father (represented as the ghost of George Washington in drag), he finds himself acting at the Faire in an abridged/audience-participatory production of Hamlet. Thrown into intense Shakespearean dialogue training (and the broken marriage of the production’s diva director and infidel star,) it’s clear that Tripp has bit off more than he can chew, but with two big off-Broadway producers coming to watch the show, Tripp realizes that even his best may not be enough. Will Tripp find something he can succeed at (aside from seducing women), or will his dreams of making his father proud go unanswered?

As featured on WBZTV, WGBH, WBUR, Boston25 News and BosToday!
“T” is the journey of three struggling Bostonians whose lives have been derailed by the MBTA’s shortcomings. When they discover a secret map that will let them conquer the T once and for all, they set forth on a colorful journey that is part love story, part melodrama, part scavenger hunt – but mostly underground.
Since 2011, “T” has delighted audiences with our musical “love letter” to the city of Boston. Join us this Spring as we sing and dance our way around everything we love to hate about the MBTA.
