Uncanny Valley

Drama by Thomas Gibbons

March 19 - April 3

Drawing on current research in artificial intelligence and robotics, UNCANNY VALLEY charts the relationship between Claire, a neuro-scientist, and Julian, a nonbiological human. As Julian is “born” a few body parts at a time over the course of the play, Claire teaches him how to be as human as possible: mirroring people’s speech, engaging in small­talk, playing a musical instrument. Their deepening friendship and Julian’s growing “humanity” lead to the revelations of an unhealed sorrow in Claire’s personal life and, ultimately, the purpose for which Julian has been created. UNCANNY VALLEY explores the painful divide between creator and creation, the inherent unpredictability of consciousness, and how we are redefining what it means to be human in the twenty­first century.

**WORLD PREMIERE**

Mystery/Thriller by Richard Weill

May 7 - 22

Two defense attorneys, Tom Russo and Gene Murphy, confront the overwhelming evidence of guilt against high-­profile murder defendant  Jennifer Creighton. Murphy, the diligent but risk-­averse old pro, resists making outlandish and unprovable claims on Jennifer’s behalf. Meanwhile, the media-­savvy Russo, craving the spotlight, convinces Jennifer to gamble her fate on a risky, headline-­grabbing defense. But is Russo pursuing this sensational, high-­risk strategy because it serves Jennifer’s interests, or furthers his own? What’s really going on here? And has Russo made a dangerous assumption when offering to take Jennifer’s case?

Family Trees

​**WORLD PREMIERE**


Comedy by ​Jason Furlani

December 2 - 18

This is a comedy about honoring family both here and gone and freeing ourselves of the labels put on us by those closest to us in life. When an advertising exec and her shiftless kid brother travel to Schenectady, NY, to fulfill their mother’s last request, they find they must confront nosy neighbors, financial burdens, and the odd tradition of burying their ancestors in the backyard, in order to redefine the meaning of "family."
