The plays below can be seen there. Check schedule for upcoming productions.

A NEW MUSICAL
“21 BAKER ROAD
Reyland-Gore

“It's All About Balance”  

“Charlie Brigade falls from the only thing he’s ever loved, his house. He wakes up somewhere between here and there; and while his family lives on in triumph and tragedy, all Charlie can do is watch and learn and try and save himself.”


Further Than We've Ever Been
A new play in two acts
By Jim Reyland

On the day Jerry’s dreams finally came true, he died.

“An interesting examination of the prevalence of destiny and the impossibility of tricking death and bad fortune. The dialogue – particularly that of the Friend- is snappy and quite funny.”
ARENA STAGE, Washington DC  

“You skillfully navigate a bold and inventive structure with compelling language.  The character of “Friend” is particularly powerfully imagined. We look forward to reading more of your work.”
YALE REPERTORY THEATER, New Haven  


BEST USE OF THEATER AS A VEHICLE FOR SOCIAL CHANGE: Jim Reyland's SHELTER On a subject close to his heart, local writer and producer Reyland crafted this drama about life among the city's homeless. Based on Reyland's own activist experience, and drawing from an actual and tragic local death, Shelter drew support from homeless organizations and helped raise awareness of one of those social ills that just won't go away. —MARTIN BRADY, NASHVILLE SCENE, OCTOBER 15TH 2009

“SHELTER”
A play in two acts
By Jim Reyland

Two wealthy brothers, one escapes with lofty ideals the other is set free on the world with a heart full of self-pity and a passion for disruption. With the help of two vagrants they explore the elusive equality of a single human life and reveal important aspects of the tragedy of poverty and hopelessness as it unfolds against the backdrop of an all night "cleansing" at St. Albert Hall.
