Moonbox Productions Presents The Thanksgiving Play

Isn't it time we rethink Thanksgiving? That's the question on the table when four politically correct performers get together to create a new take on the traditional holiday pageant. Good intentions turn into outright tension as the group struggles to re-envision history, all without ruffling any feathers. Rambunctious, wild, and fearless, The Thanksgiving Play serves up history and humor with a steaming side dish of uniquely American hypocrisy. Are you ready to eat your words?

Moonbox Productions Presents Mermaid Hour

Mermaid Hour&nbsp;is a funny, coming-of-age story in which the parents, not the teenagers, need to learn how to change.&nbsp;For Pilar and Bird, parenting a trans tween is all about guessing how to get it right when they’re not even sure what that means—and it doesn’t help that they’re not on the same page.&nbsp;Vi just wishes they would keep up: she’s busy navigating her first crush on super-cool Jacob, obsessing over her favorite YouTube vlogger, and just about ready to make herself an internet sensation. &nbsp;Fast-paced and heartfelt, Mermaid Hour finds all three confronting the gaps between who they are and who they wish to be.

My Mother Had Two Faces Makes its Boston Debut at The Rockwell

Written and performed by Karin Trachtenberg and directed by Jessica Lynn Johnson, this autobiographical one-woman dramatic comedy dares to expose what lies beneath the mask of the perfect mother. Discovering her mother’s diaries after her passing, Karin, the heroine, begins to examine the history of their complicated relationship from the gritty, urban streets of New York to her Swiss mother’s manicured orderliness.&nbsp; &nbsp; A humorous and moving&nbsp;journey of self-reflection, this show is sure to&nbsp;resonate with anyone struggling with a conflicted parental relationship. Presented in a pseudo-fairytale style, utilizing multimedia and theatrical masks,&nbsp;My Mother Had Two Faces&nbsp;tips the Disney delusion on its head revealing the enchanting as well as the underbelly.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Moonbox Productions Presents The Manic Monologues

Moonbox Productions presents The Manic Monologues by Zachery Burton and Elisa Hofmeister. Directed by Brad Reinking, The Manic Monologues opens on February 16th and runs until February 25th at the Studio at Arrow Street Arts. Burton and Hofmeister wrote The Manic Monologues in the wake of Burton's 2017 bipolar diagnosis while a doctoral student at Stanford University.  The play brings to life incredible stories — stories that will challenge and inform your ideas about what it means to be touched by a mental health condition.  These true, lived experiences come from diverse and resilient people living across the world.  These brave individuals have things to say about struggle and pain, but also triumph and joy.  They are moving.  They are human.  And they are not ashamed.

Moonbox Productions Present The House of Ramon Iglesia

It's 1983, and the Iglesia family is caught between two worlds. Aging and ailing, parents Ramon and Dolores are eager to leave their rickety house in New Jersey and return to their native Puerto Rico – but their three sons, all raised in America, are deeply divided on whether or not to go. Tough, genuine, and insightful, The House of Ramon Iglesia asks just as much as it answers. What do we owe our parents, and our children? What do we mean when we say "country", or "family", or "home"? As they struggle through gaps of language, age, and culture, will the Iglesia family find common ground? Or are their rifts too wide to heal?

Moonbox Productions Presents the Tony Award Winning Play, Torch Song

Moonbox Productions is thrilled to present Harvey Fierstein’s Tony-Award-winning play, Torch Song, directed by Allison Olivia Choat. Hilarious and heart wrenching, Torch Song follows Arnold Beckoff on his odyssey to find happiness in New York. All he wants is a husband, a child and a pair of bunny slippers that fit, but a visit from his overbearing mother reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect.  Join Arnold on this all-too-human journey about the families we're born into, the families we choose, and the battles to bring them all home. Starring Moonbox alum and Elliot Norton Award nominee Peter Mill as Arnold Beckoff.
