January Pick: we are never meeting in real life
Wednesday January 15th at 6:30PM
Wood Theater Cabaret Space [207 Glen Street]
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – This essay collection from the “bitches gotta eat” blogger, writer on Hulu’s Shrill and HBO’s And Just Like That, and “one of our country’s most fierce and foulmouthed authors” (Amber Tamblyn, Vulture) is sure to make you alternately cackle with glee and cry real tears.
“A sidesplitting polemicist for the most awful situations.”–The New York Times
Whether Samantha Irby is talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making “adult” budgets; explaining why she should be the new Bachelorette (she’s “35-ish, but could easily pass for 60-something”); detailing a disastrous pilgrimage-slash-romantic-vacation to Nashville to scatter her estranged father’s ashes; sharing awkward sexual encounters; or dispensing advice on how to navigate friendships with former drinking buddies who are now suburban moms (hang in there for the Costco loot!); she’s as deft at poking fun at the ghosts of her past self as she is at capturing powerful emotional truths.

Create, Compete, Collapse. Play Fest brings 70+ volunteers together for an unforgettable 24 hour race to put on a show. On Friday, March 14th all these volunteer actors, directors and writers will arrive at the Wood Theater.
Those brave souls will be randomly formed into eight to nine teams, each with 1 writer, 1 director and 3-4 actors. Then a theme for the Fest will be announced and teams will meet for 1 hour before writers go home to write their ten-minute plays (to the year’s theme) that also include a secret line revealed Friday.
Writers must email scripts by 5 AM on Saturday morning (March 15th) and at 7AM that same morning, teams assemble at the theater to receive their scrips AND a secret prop – then have until the curtain opens at 8 PM to rehearse, memorize and stage their ten-minute plays.
Our judges and audience members then vote for their favorites in a number of categories and winners are awarded!
All proceeds support the Wood Theater!

March Pick: The Teller of Small Fortunes
Wednesday March 19th at 6:30PM
Wood Theater Cabaret Space [207 Glen Street]
Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells ‘small’ fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences. Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a ‘knead’ for adventure, and–of course–a slightly magical cat.
