SUMMARY:@ALT VENUE* Forward Living & The Dutch Castaway
DESCRIPTION:Forward Living & The Dutch Castaway\n2 shows in 1 hour! \n\n\n\n\nForward Living \nThis minimalist dystopian short play is a darkly tender exploration of grief\, loneliness\, and the absurd sacrifices we make to feel “alive.” Mr. Bronner\, an elderly man on the verge of a mysterious operation\, moves through a sterile world that treats survival like procedure. As he confronts the loss of his partner and the slow shrinking of his social world\, Mr Bronner’s relationship with himself becomes the central battleground: between dignity and despair\, memory and reinvention\, human need and human exhaustion. Through his bond with his young neighbor Sandy\, his foil in many ways\, the play asks what love looks like when words fail—and whether transformation (spoiler: into the body of his own cat\, “Miss Gloria”!) can be a kind of mercy; choosing what form of life you can bear. \nNora Butler – Nora Butler is a Brooklyn-based director with experience in contemporary\, classical\, and experimental theater (and opera!). As a psychology graduate\, she strives to create character-driven work\, investigative of the inner psyche\, and the socio-emotional complexities of human life. Her passion for ambitious and emotional storytelling extends beyond directing\, into sillier performance settings. Since her early days at Wesleyan University\, Nora has been a lover of improvisational comedy\, wrapped up in ridiculous worldbuilding and absurd characters. When she isn’t directing\, you can find Nora hanging with her cat\, training for a half marathon\, or eating trail mix. @norabutlerr \n\nThe Dutch Castaway \nIn 1725\, a Dutch sailor on a merchant ship was marooned on a deserted island for the crime of sodomy. Months later\, two English sailors discover his diary and translate it for each other there on the beach. While their shipmates search for signs of the man’s fate\, the two sailors read the troubling account of survival\, guilt\, and hallucinations. Through discussing the mystery\, they find profound comfort in each other.\nFeaturing playwright Lawrence Gullo and actor Sebastian Crane \n\n \n\nShow Times:\n\n\nWed May 13 @ 6:00 PM – DRAGON PIZZA\nFri May 15 @ 6:00 PM – DENTE’S BARBER SHOP\n\n\n\n\n\n**CHECK THE LOCATION – EACH SHOW IS DIFFERENT! \n\n\n \n\n\nDRAGON PIZZA will be at “DRAGON’S LAIR” to the left of Dragon Pizza\n\n\n233 Elm St\, Somerville\, MA 02144 \n\n\n \n\n\nDENTE’S BARBER SHOP \n\n\n417 Highland Ave\, Somerville\, MA 02144\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeeing more than one show\, think about the Festival Pass!

SUMMARY:@ALT VENUE* Sitayama: her side of the fire & Becoming Psychic
DESCRIPTION:Sitayama: her side of the fire & Becoming Psychic\n2 shows in 1 hour!\n\nSitayama: her side of the fire \n\nThe Ramayana is a Sanskrit epic over two millennia old\, which teaches core Hindu beliefs of duty\, morality\, and honor. But while Prince Rama’s heroic exile and return made him the “ideal man”\, his wife Sita endured his trials alongside him\, while being kidnapped\, recovered\, and ultimately exiled again by her own\, her fidelity questioned despite her sacrifices. Sita is remembered as the ideal wife — her devotion proven through a literal trial by fire. \nBut what about the story of her resilience through loss? Sitayama reimagines her perspective through a concept concert\, unpacking her emotional journey with original Indian Americana songs rooted in mythology. Beyond the epic\, these songs explore Hindu tenets and ask: what does it mean to be a good woman and what do we lose when our traditional values outweigh our own humanity? \nPayal is a Somerville-based musician of Indian descent who fuses Indian themes with Western folk and punk roots — a genre she calls Indian Americana. Sitayama is her personal inquiry through music: reconciling ancient narratives of gender and duty with her own present-day beliefs. You can find her on Instagram at @soundslikeapayal. \n\n\nBecoming Psychic\nA skeptic begins having psychic experiences and is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: she might be losing her mind. \nAfter accidentally meditating on vacation\, Gada Jane finds herself talking to statues\, consulting the DSM-5\, and doing psychic readings. Becoming Psychic is a darkly funny solo show about doubt\, belief\, and the cultural line between insight and insanity. \n\n\nShow Times:\n\n\nWed May 13 @ 8:40 PM – DRAGON PIZZA\nFri May 15 @ 7:20 PM – DENTE’S BARBER SHOP\n\n\n\n\n\n**CHECK THE LOCATION – EACH SHOW IS DIFFERENT! \n\n\n \n\n\nDRAGON PIZZA will be at “DRAGON’S LAIR” to the left of Dragon Pizza\n\n\n233 Elm St\, Somerville\, MA 02144 \n\n\n \n\n\nDENTE’S BARBER SHOP \n\n\n417 Highland Ave\, Somerville\, MA 02144\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeeing more than one show\, think about the Festival Pass!

Emma has performed with Improv teams and studios across the Greater-Boston area. She’s a member of Stop That Baby!\, Improv Asylum’s House Teams\, and Union Comedy’s Clyde.

Through original songs and personal storytelling\, the show follows a high-achieving teenager who believes that if he earns enough gold stars – good grades\, leadership roles\, extracurricular success – life will stay safe\, predictable\, and approved. But as new feelings begin to surface\, his carefully built sense of identity starts to shift in funny\, awkward\, and deeply relatable ways. \nMoving through moments like high school pressure\, Boy Scout trips\, early internet exploration\, and first experiences with attraction\, Good Boy uses humor\, nostalgia\, and honesty to explore what it means to grow up queer while trying to live up to expectations from family\, community\, and yourself. At its heart\, the show is about learning that being “good” and being authentic don’t always follow the same path. \nGood Boy is written and performed by Luke Fraser\, a performer\, writer and songwriter based in Boston and Los Angeles. Luke has trained and performed at Improv Asylum (Boston)\, Improv Boston (technically Cambridge) and Upright Citizens Brigade (NYC/LA). He is currently developing Good Boy as an original musical work. \n  \nLocation: The Rockwell \nShow Times: \nSat May 16 @ 3:20 PM\nSun May 17 @ 2:00 PM \nSeeing more than one show\, think about the Festival Pass!

SUMMARY:@ ALT VENUE* A Tall Girl's Lament & Charlie's Spring
DESCRIPTION:A Tall Girl’s Lament & Charlie’s Spring\n2 shows in 1 hour! \n\n\nA Tall Girl’s Lament\n\n\nIn this laugh-out-loud musical parody\, Lauren Schultes battles bad dates\, ruthless casting calls\, and a world that insists she’s more “evil queen” than “girl next door.” Featuring original parody songs from “Wicked\,” “Les Mis\,” and more\, “A Tall Girl’s Lament” follows one woman’s journey to land the leading role\, both on the stage & in her love life. \n\n\n \n\n\n“A Tall Girl’s Lament” has appeared at NYC’s SOLOCOM (New York’s oldest solo performance festival)\, The PIT Loft (NYC)\, The Playground Theater (Chicago) and the Napoleon Room (Boston). \n\n\nStanding tall at 5’11\, Lauren Schultes is a Boston-based performer recognized for her brilliant vocals\, witty parodies\, and captivating stage presence. From intimate cabarets to world premiere musicals and comedy festivals\, she has performed across the U.S.\, Mexico\, and Europe for two decades. Follow her for more @laurenschultes_music / www.laurenschultes.com.\n\n\n \n\n\nCharlie’s Spring\n\n\n\nMany of us spend our lives in a mask—one that blurs or hides who we are—in order to fit in\, to survive\, to avoid being vulnerable\, and the list goes on. We perform: who others want us to be\, who others say we should be\, who we think we ought to be based on the possibility for acceptance and survival. These performances range from small to large\, and from moments to a lifetime. Underneath is our vulnerability\, our inner child\, and our struggle to just be ourselves (when it is safe to do so). \nThis one-human show is about understanding\, embracing\, and expressing our most authentic Selves through one of the greatest tools at our disposal: the art of creation. While the title is quite inspired by Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper\, the essence of “Charlie’s Spring” connects to the experience of my personal Spring—a time of rebirth\, blossoming\, and the peeking out of sunshine after a harsh Winter. While it is modeled after and inspired by themes like gender\, sexuality\, neurotype\, trauma\, personality\, and relationships\, there are infinite ways it can connect to anyone’s journey into authenticity. It might be largely my story\, but it’s one we all share: wanting to be accepted and celebrated for who we are\, and finding the little pockets we can do this in. Our most authentic and loving Selves are just waiting to be created. \n\n\n \n\nShow Times:\n\n\nMon May 11 @ 6:00 PM – DRAGON PIZZA\n\n\nSat May 16 @ 8:40 PM – DENTE’S BARBER SHOP\n\n\n\n\n\n**CHECK THE LOCATION – EACH SHOW IS DIFFERENT! \n\n\n \n\n\nDRAGON PIZZA will be at “DRAGON’S LAIR” to the left of Dragon Pizza\n\n\n233 Elm St\, Somerville\, MA 02144 \n\n\n \n\n\nDENTE’S BARBER SHOP \n\n\n417 Highland Ave\, Somerville\, MA 02144\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeeing more than one show\, think about the Festival Pass!

SUMMARY:The Love Movements & Good Boy
DESCRIPTION:The Love Movements & Good Boy\n2 Shows in 1 Hour!\nThe Love Movements \nThe Ancient Greeks had 8 words for love. The Love Movements explores these 8 in dance. \nStorge [stôrge] family love\nPhilia [filia] brotherly love\, friend love\nLudus [looduz] playful\, flirtatious love\nEros [eroz] passionate love\nPragma [pragmah] longterm\, foundational love\nMania [mayneea] obsessive love\nPhilautia [filoshea] self-love\nAgape [agapay] universal\, self-less love \nBy: Deby Xiadani & Ali O’Leary\nMusic by: Victor McSurely & Michael Petrucci\nAdditional Choreography by: Bryce Flint-Somerville\nConcept By: Deby Xiadani \nGood Boy \nGood Boy is a coming of age one-act musical about growing up trying to do everything right while quietly questioning who you’re allowed to be. Through original songs and personal storytelling\, the show follows a high-achieving teenager who believes that if he earns enough gold stars – good grades\, leadership roles\, extracurricular success – life will stay safe\, predictable\, and approved. But as new feelings begin to surface\, his carefully built sense of identity starts to shift in funny\, awkward\, and deeply relatable ways. \nMoving through moments like high school pressure\, Boy Scout trips\, early internet exploration\, and first experiences with attraction\, Good Boy uses humor\, nostalgia\, and honesty to explore what it means to grow up queer while trying to live up to expectations from family\, community\, and yourself. At its heart\, the show is about learning that being “good” and being authentic don’t always follow the same path. \nGood Boy is written and performed by Luke Fraser\, a performer\, writer and songwriter based in Boston and Los Angeles. Luke has trained and performed at Improv Asylum (Boston)\, Improv Boston (technically Cambridge) and Upright Citizens Brigade (NYC/LA). He is currently developing Good Boy as an original musical work. \n  \nLocation: The Rockwell \nShow Times: \nSat May 16 @ 3:20 PM\nSun May 17 @ 2:00 PM \nSeeing more than one show\, think about the Festival Pass!
