Set in Nebraska in the 90’s, Will, a bit of a social outcast, and Mike, the popular football player, figure out that there is more to life than what high school has taught them. Days after graduation they explore their relationship and begin to ask themselves where their lives begin. Based on the album by Matthew Sweet, Girlfriend is a pop/rock musical for everyone who’s lived in a small town and feels for their first love.

18-Year-old Mark is held in a police station and interrogated about a violent crime. He holds his story close but his secrets are unearthed and illuminated for the audience via his memories, imagination, and films. It becomes clear that the crime is intertwined with another violent act–a rape- and his obsession with making films. Mark is happiest behind the camera, watching, always watching. Digital video production is integral to the premise, conflict, and mystery at the heart of Centurions.

Saint Joan is a play by George Bernard Shaw about 15th-century French military figure Joan of Arc. Premiering in 1923, three years after her canonization by the Roman Catholic Church, the play reflects Shaw's belief that the people involved in Joan's trial acted according to what they thought was right.
