Coppélia at the Animatronic Pizza Arcade is an adaptation of the 19th-century French ballet Coppélia, set in a 1985 Chuck E. Cheese-style animatronic pizza arcade, Charlie Cheddar’s.  Hilda and Franz are tweens who have been friends since childhood. It’s Franz’s 12th birthday today, and he’s having a party at CharlieCheddar’s - and the only person who showed up is Hilda.  When Franz falls in love with a suspiciously flawless ballet dancer and is threatened by an evil plot, Hilda must use her wits to save Franz and herself - while sorting out what it means to be the “perfect” girl.

Welcome to Club D’llusion, where Cora wants to fix everyone, Mitch needs to fix everything, Andrea didn’t know she was broken, and Foine Chyna is just trying to fix her wonky eyelash. Inspired by a 2016 article outing Olympic athletes, this play imagines what could have happened in the aftermath—after the story goes too far and the fallout comes crashing back home— local drag, a broken family, “investigative” journalism, and a political landscape on the verge of cracking.

So pull out the coins, ’cause they are gonna bring the drama, mama—and if you don’t tip… you might just get dragged through the mud.

Oh, and Mother plans to do it all covertly before Bloody Marys at brunch tomorrow.

In the distant future where every word is recorded and nothing stays secret, the world’s 127th-richest woman readies her mansion for a powerful senator’s visit. But in a house where the devices are always listening and the secret police are always searching, even the smallest slip of the tongue could destroy everything. When a staff member begins hiding friends marked for disappearance, chaos erupts in this biting farce about censorship, surveillance, and the high cost of silence.
