Khadim has no idea why he’s been called into the office of Dr. Danielson, the Vice Principal at Sheffield High. At first, Danielson is cagey, using a minor violation to keep the boy at school for detention.

For Bess, Ruth, Jesse, and Astor, finding the perfect real estate in New York City is a lot like finding the perfect relationship, and none of them have been able to settle on “the one.” Hunting and Gathering, a lightning-quick comedy by Brooke Berman, follows four 20- and 30-somethings as they move in and out of each other’s lives and apartments and search for the true meaning of home.

“Berman finds a fresh and funny way of looking at the mortal terrors of being young and on your own in a bewildering existential landscape.” – Variety

Sam Peliczowski mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan’s number-one restaurant–and everyone wants a piece of him. Through the course of the evening, we meet Sam’s father, a likeable guy from South Bend; the temperamental chef; Jean-Claude, the snooty Maitre D’; Naomi Campbell’s annoying (but funny) assistant; and several powerful New York types, among many others—all played by Amphibian’s own Carman Lacivita. A hit in Amphibian’s 2005 ‘Phibs at the Modern Reading Series, Fully Committed returns to Amphibian, this time with set and costumes.

Walt Disney is going to read you a screenplay he wrote. A screenplay about a city he’s going to build that will change the world. A screenplay about his vision and those who stand in its way. A screenplay about his last days on earth. In Lucas Hnath’s searing portrayal of the filmmaking legend, the dark side of Disney emerges as we see the true price of achieving the American Dream.

“A devastating portrait of a man for whom make-believe was more real than reality itself.” – New York Post
