404 Not Found
Written & Directed by TAPS Graduate Student Lucas Baisch
We find ourselves at the back of a clay building that signals ‘stay away, stay awake.’ Slack has a bad habit of holding people captive. Now he’s the one shackled to a metal grate. Ro makes ends meet via drag-play for a truck-stop benefactor. She leverages her wages to travel down the neck of the Americas, making herself invisible along the way. Her cousin Cameo retreats to La Barranca, a digital landscape of his own invention, where he encrypts documentation for asylum-seekers. A twisting, twisted work of mischief and despair netted in kidnap, virtual utopias, upended borders, and Freddy Krueger cosplay.
404 Not Found has been developed with The Kennedy Center (2020), New Dramatists (2022), and the Magic Theatre (2025). It is available for purchase through 53rd State Press.

Our Town
By Thornton Wilder
Directed By Jeffrey Lo
A Stage Manager enters before us calling for time. But it’s not a rehearsal they are calling us in for, it’s real life. In Thornton Wilder’s masterwork Our Town we experience life in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and finally, “Death and Eternity.” In a world where the possibility of humanity losing its grasp on reality looms large, the resonance of this classic reverberates today as strongly as it did when first written and in one of those most stunning scenes in the American cannon, we come face to face with what it is we have already lost.
Hailed by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” this enduring story continues to ask us—generations later—how to use our time, how to love our time and how to run out of time.

Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches
By Tony Kushner
Directed by TAPS Graduate Student Connor Lifson
→ AUDITIONS FALL 2026 ←
As the AIDS crisis intensifies in the mid-1980s, a group of New Yorkers find their lives colliding in unexpected and extraordinary ways. Just as intimate as it is epic, Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches blends raw emotion, political history, queer identity, love, loss, fantasy, and, of course, angels. Relationships fracture and bloom as characters confront illness, abandonment, ambition, and the possibility of transformation. Fiercely funny and deeply moving, Tony Kushner’s monumental play explores what it means to survive in a shattering world.

This Is About a Girl Who Hears Voices
Libretto by TAPS Undergraduate Emma Leibowitz
Composed by TAPS Undergraduate Sebastian Hochman
→ AUDITIONS WINTER 2027 ←
Mina has spent her life hiding from the world, and from the thoughts of everyone in it. An agoraphobic young woman with the uncanny ability to read minds, she rarely leaves her San Francisco apartment. That is, until she falls for her charming neighbor, Charlie. But when she discovers he’s in love with her sister, Mina’s heartbreak unleashes her powers in spectacular fashion. Soon, she’s a viral dating guru whose “insight” wreaks havoc on relationships across the city. As her world spirals, Mina must learn to quiet the voices in her head and confront an unexpected truth: love isn’t something you can read—it’s something you have to feel.
