Broken Wheel
29 January – 2 February
7:30pm
(MA15+)
Over two parallel nights a pair of teens prepare to escape their toxic homes. What begins as a familiar struggle—getting to a party—unfolds into a haunting tale of secrets, survival, and identity. As timelines twist and truths emerge, the lines between parent and child blur, revealing a deeper question: can we ever truly break the cycle we were born into?
BROKEN WHEEL is a powerful exploration of generational trauma, love, and the cost of trying to be better. What does it take to break the generational wheel?
SPARKBIRD
5 February – 9 February
6:00pm
(PG)
Part play. Part romcom. Part stand-up set. Have you ever wondered what’s going on in someone else’s head? Looking at Melvin and Chelsea’s relationship from both sides, Sparkbird tries to understand where everything went wrong, whose fault it might have been and if they ever really saw things the same way. Love is a blame game, right?
If you love romantic comedies of the 90s and early 2000s, classic comedy, or watching people suffer, you’re sure to love Sparkbird.
Anatomy of a Rom-Com

Jessica is unlucky in love… She has been on date after date, finding nothing but disappointment to warm her on the lonely nights. Enter Drew, a bartender who loves love and has an encyclopedic knowledge of rom-coms. Together, using all the classic tropes, they come up with a plan to win over Jessica’s secret crush, her boss at the hospital, an eminent surgeon as hot as he is smart.
Running through every classic rom-com, Jessica and Drew work their way closer to finding the secret to the biological process known as love. But as their plans unfold, and the two grow closer together, is it possible that the person Jessica is actually falling for might be right under her nose?
