About the Plays

He Did It by Rachel Lynett
A drama about weighing options, He Did It follows two friends, Ada and Lex, who know who raped their friend but need him for their dreams of success and fame to be realized. Ada and Lex must decide if they can alienate their friends for the sake of their careers, and if they can excuse a horrendous crime done by an artistic “genius.”

Bathsheba’s Psalms (fully titled Bathsheba’s Psalms, Or A Woman of Unusual Beauty Taking A Bath) by April Ranger
A raucous and wild retelling of the biblical myth of David and Bathsheba’s romance with Bathsheba’s voice front and center. Both hilarious and sensual, the play is an explosive journey through time, upending several genres and tropes on female beauty, power, consent and desire.

Human Error by Eric Pfeffinger
After an unfortunate mix-up by their blundering fertility doctor, a couple is mistakenly impregnated with the wrong child. Now two very different couples face sharing an uproarious nine-month odyssey of culture shock, clashing values, changing attitudes and unlikely – but heartfelt – friendships.
