Born with a congenital muscle disorder, Shaka spends her days in her room in a care home outside Tokyo, relying on an electric wheelchair to get around and a ventilator to breathe. But if Shaka’s physical life is limited, her quick, mischievous mind has no boundaries: she takes e-learning courses on her iPad, publishes explicit fantasies on websites, and anonymously troll-tweets to see if anyone is paying attention (‘If I were to live again, I’d want to be a high-class prostitute’). One day, she tweets into the void an offer of an enormous sum of money for a sperm donor. To her surprise, … her new nurse accepts the dare, unleashing a series of events that will forever change Shaka’s sense of herself as a woman in the world.

Spaceships aren’t programmed to seek revenge–but for Dracula, Demeter will make an exception.

Demeter just wants to do her job: shuttling humans between Earth and Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, her passengers keep dying–and not from equipment failures, as her AI medical system, Steward, would have her believe. These are paranormal murders, and they began when one nasty, ancient vampire decided to board Demeter and kill all her humans. To keep from getting decommissioned, Demeter must join forces with her own team of monsters: A werewolf. An engineer built from the dead. A pharaoh with otherworldly powers. A vampire with a grudge. A fleet of cheerful spider drones. Together, this motley crew will face down the ultimate evil–Dracula.

Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches’. That was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva–stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that’s why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay’s most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay’s manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.

Growing up, Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian felt most at home in the swamps and culverts near her house in the Hudson Valley. A child who frequently felt out of place, too much of one thing or not enough of another, she found acceptance in these settings, among other amphibious beings. In snakes, snails, and, above all, fungi, she saw her own developing identities as a queer, neurodivergent person reflected back at her–and in them, too, she found a personal path to a life of science.

May Pick: The Killing Spell
Wednesday May 20th at 6:30PM
Charles R. Wood Theater
Cabaret Space
207 Glen Street

In this spellbinding fantasy debut set in a future where language magic reigns, a young Hawaiian woman must solve a murder to clear her name.
Kea Petrova is dealing with more than her fair share of trouble.
At just twenty-five years old, she’s the youngest of five Hawaiian clan leaders living on the Homestead in outer Los Angeles. Nearly 200 years ago, when a catastrophic flood submerged the Hawaiian islands and unleashed magic into the world, these clans forged a treaty with the city, establishing a new Hawaiian homeland. But that treaty is about to expire.
Kea struggles to keep her small clan afloat, scraping together rent each month through odd jobs and selling her own crafted Hawaiian language spells. While her talent for language magic is her saving grace, she feels like a shadow of those who came before her. Just when she thinks things can’t get any more complicated, the murder of Angelo Reyes–LA’s most prominent Filipino activist–turns her world upside-down.
Angelo was killed by a death spell–something that, due to the properties of each school of language magic, can only exist in Hawaiian. With independent spellsmithing being technically illegal, Kea quickly becomes the prime suspect, known for her spellwork on the Homestead. To clear her name, she must unravel the mystery behind Angelo’s murder and confront LA’s most powerful (and dangerous) players, each wielding their own type of magic. The clock is ticking–can Kea save herself, her clan, and the Homestead before it’s too late?

Released in April 2026.

JOB is a sleek, riveting psychological thriller that begins as a routine job interview—and quickly becomes something far more dangerous. As two strangers face off behind closed doors, power shifts, truths blur, and every word carries consequences. Clever, suspenseful, and unsettlingly funny, the play probes ambition, control, and the quiet violence of modern work culture, asking who really holds the power in the room—and what it costs to succeed.

Trapped is a laugh-out-loud solo cabaret play inspired by a completely true – and wildly unbelievable – misadventure. When Trevor tries to retrieve his umbrella and accidentally gets locked inside the luggage compartment under a Megabus as it takes off, he does what any reasonable person would do: panic, sing, overshare, and make a viral tik tock. Clever, chaotic, and deeply charming, Trapped turns a travel nightmare into a hilarious and heartfelt celebration of storytelling, survival, and the strange places our minds go when there’s absolutely nowhere else to go. Written and starring NYC Actor and Glens Falls native Trevor Strader (son of Hockey announcer Legend Dave Strader).

Mother. Daughter. Father. Son. is a funny and deeply human new play about what happens when love, memory, faith, and responsibility collide. When an aging mother moves in with her fiercely independent daughter, long-buried tensions surface—alongside unexpected friendships next door that complicate everything. As two families navigate caregiving, loss, identity, and the limits of control, the play asks urgent questions about who gets to decide what’s best for the people we love. By turns laugh-out-loud hilarious and quietly devastating, Mother. Daughter. Father. Son. is an intimate, compassionate portrait of family—chosen and inherited—and the
messy, beautiful work of holding on while learning when to let go.
