It’s opening night of Death of a Salesman at the Teacup Theatre in New York. Two actors returning to the stage after many years have a lot riding on this bare-bones off-Broadway production. George Ratcliffe, playing Willy, wants the public to remember him from his theatrical glory days; Joanne Rogers, playing Linda, wants the public to finally meet the talent she mothballed for motherhood. But what happens when life imitates art and one of them suffers a break with reality, hallucinating and conversing with long-dead relatives before the curtain has even gone up?

Over 200 years ago, upon noting there was nowhere in New York for Free People of Color to gather and socialize, William Alexander Brown opened his garden to the public. When his neighbors complained to the authorities, he built the world’s first African American Theatre. Sister Blacknall returns to tell the story of Mr. Brown and his intrepid theatre troupe (including young protege, Ira Aldridge.) She has brought Seattle’s renowned — and yet unknown — Negro Repertory Company, as well as her mysterious time portal, with her.

In a post-apocalyptic world, environmental damage has turned air and light into poison. To appease the gods in keeping with ancestral traditions, regular “sacrifices” are made in the form of young villagers being thrown into a deep crater called the Sunless Scar, from which there is no escape. But instead of certain death, the Scar turns out to contain safety, community, and light in a way that the harsh surface never could. Should the denizens of the pit try to climb out and escape? And what exactly will they be escaping to? Join us for a thrilling speculative fiction adventure that explores how we honor ourselves and our past, and what we’re willing to risk for an uncertain future.
