“Beast of Eden” by Will Saxe
When Adam and Eve are “fired from their current positions,” four animals are chosen at random to be promoted as their replacements; a dog, a cat, a sheep, and the snake. A satirical write up of corporate culture, “Beast of Eden” asks “what does it mean to be human?”
Island Song in Concert - By Carner & Gregor
Dive In Productions hosts a concert presentation of Carner & Gregor's Island Song. Island Song takes us through a year in the lives of twenty-and-thirty-somethings sharing a city and the chain of surprising, meaningful, and partially random connections that bring them into each other’s spheres at moments that become pivotal. As the city pulses around them, they each work through their own complex relationships with ambition, distraction, and the search for connection.

She Kills Monsters

She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge.
