1998. Pill-popping teens Jennie and Simian have a problem: AmTrain is about to fence off their sacred space by the water for a new bullet train. Maybe Dapper Dan will help start a letter-writing campaign? Or bring them more pills? Anthropomorphic manifestations of Hudson Valley myths circle them, giving unheard warnings, that tragedy will strike down by the tracks.

The Salon Series returns to its first live & in-person performance!

You've never seen myths like these.

From the radical feminist retelling of "Esther and Vashti" to the post-apocalyptic "Sundown" and the vengeful "Death of Ruby Slippers," we're smashing every expectation.

We're doing a hybrid season this year.

We've relished working with artists across the country (and some from beyond our borders too)! So, we'll continue to present new work virtually. We also have high hopes for a return to in-person salons.

We'll be starting our season with a virtual presentation of the 22 person, radical feminist Shakespearian-style epic
"ESTHER AND VASHTI" by Carolyn Gage.

Saturday 4.16 | 7pm | JOIN US VIRTUALLY

We're so excited to bring you a modern, mythical lineup this spring!

First up, on Saturday, 3/20 at 7pm:  ​Clyt; Or, The Bathtub Play by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman Clytemnestra has always felt a bit overshadowed, whether by her sister, Helen, her husband, or her children. She often finds solace while alone in her bath, but when her sister's abduction leads to unspeakable events, Clytemnestra's life is forever altered. A modern, feminist exploration of Clytemnestra's tale, Clyt; or, The Bathtub Play is a darkly comedic, lyrical love letter to one of mythology's most misunderstood women. ​
