Covenant
Hertz Stage

Described as “a striking Southern Gothic work” (The New York Times), COVENANT is a haunting new play that pushes the boundaries between myth and reality. Avery is desperate for a way out of her small Georgia town. When her childhood friend Johnny returns after making a name for himself as a blues star, Avery may have found her chance. But Johnny’s sudden fame leads to gossip that he made a deal with the devil to attain his newfound musical genius, and before long it becomes clear that he’s not the only one in town with a secret. A suspense-filled thriller that delivers one devilish twist after another, COVENANT explores the gripping power of belief and the thin veil between rumor and truth.

Duel Reality
Coca-Cola Stage

From The 7 Fingers, the high-flying troupe behind the awe-inspiring stunts in the Alliance’s Broadway musical Water for Elephants, comes DUEL REALITY – an epic, cirque-infused performance inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Featuring their signature electrifying mix of circus, storytelling, music, and dance, this acrobatic tour-de-force for all ages has been described as “entirely entertaining and engaging” and “a spectacle that will truly astonish all who see it.” Imagine a world where star-crossed lovers are circus stars, their love story unfolding through graceful and death-defying acrobatics. Two feuding families engage in a battle of skill, each competition more daring than the last—while a pair of star-crossed lovers struggles to escape the showdown. They are fierce players, but do they care who wins or loses if playing the game can bring them closer together? The reimagined tale of two rival houses dazzles the senses and stirs the heart.

Fires, Ohio
Hertz Stage

As wildfires rage closer and closer to a small Ohio college town, the mopey grown children and second wife of a sort-of-mediocre professor are threatened by another kind of crisis: a visit from a family friend that threatens to bring all of their tensions to a towering inferno. Now, each of them will be forced to choose: stay and smolder, or leave and burn? Inspired by the classic family drama Uncle Vanya, FIRES, OHIO updates a beloved story for our painfully absurd present, taking a hilarious and heartfelt look at the natural (and personal) disasters that transform our everyday lives.  In addition to winning the 22nd annual Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition, FIRES, OHIO has been awarded the Kennedy Center's Paula Vogel Award and the Mark Twain Prize for Comic Playwriting.
