Road Kills
August 15 - September 6
What happens to the stains you can’t get out?
Owen is a roadkill collector. Jaki was busted for drunk driving. And for the next six Saturdays, they’re stuck with each other.
As they traverse the highways of Wisconsin, they connect over their common ground as outsiders, challenge each other on issues of faith and family, and careen towards a collision that threatens to shatter them both.
Sophie McIntosh’s unflinching new play Road Kills forces us to confront the long-lasting repercussions of abuse — and urges us not to look away.
Following a sold-out reading with the Frontera Series, Road Kills will have a full production at Paradise Factory, running August 15 - September 6, 2025. Tickets are now on sale.
Understudy Anna Aubry will be performing as "Jaki" on the performances scheduled for August 29th and 30th at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets available here.
NOVECENTO
by Alessandro Baricco

At the turn of the century, on a fantastical ocean liner carrying immigrants to America, an infant is abandoned atop the piano in a box of lemons. Dubbed “Novecento” (1900) by the crew, he never sets foot on dry land, but becomes the most electrifying pianist the world would never know.
