Heisenberg by Simon Stephens – The 222 – Can an affair between a middle-aged woman and an older man be explored through science? This play takes the uncertainty principle—the idea that you can precisely measure a subatomic particle’s velocity or its position, but not both at once—and applies it to a two-character play. Sort of.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Jahnna Beecham and Malcolm Hillgartner – Lucky Penny Productions – The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There’s not supposed to be cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites. Soon, everyone is calling for reluctant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to the Bradleys and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic.

with Maddie Bottari, Julianne Bradbury, Olive Deleon, Cindy Dwyer, Dakota Dwyer, Sarah Hallahan, Georgie Joy, Sarah Lundstrom, Thalia Meisner, Todd Moghaddasi, Kade Morrill, Dennis O’Brien, Luca Pagni, Cait Pederson, Beckett Schaeffer, Jenny Shully, Tulah Shully, Scott Slagle, Raiden Stahl, Kiernan Upton, Jill Wagoner
