The Flea Theater
On the eve of the 19th Annual International Taxidermy Championships, four experts of the trade gather in a hotel room. Fueled by competitive tension and a whole lot of alcohol, they spend the night vying for supremacy. Who can master the act of creation, and achieve perfection? By the end of the night, one of them proves they are willing to push the boundaries of their craft further than anyone ever thought possible.
LILITH IN PISCES
By Kayla Eisenberg
Directed by Stephanie Cox-Connolly
Winter/Spring 2025
When Erin arrives to babysit Diane's baby at her cozy townhouse in suburban New Jersey, it seems they have nothing in common - except their birth charts. Through Erin and Diane’s fight to reclaim the agency and love in their lives, they ignite something unanticipated in each other. However, when the moon is full, Lilith comes out to play, and the two women discover that a shared history and astrological sign might beget a bond they never knew they needed.
