Syrma
by Carolina de' Castiglioni

Sýrma, in greek, means 'string.' In Ancient Greece, the world was believed to be predetermined, which meant that free will did not exist. Three women, the Moire, are responsible for each individual's life, represented by a string. Sýrma is a short play set in this kind of universe, where everyone has the illusion of being a decision-maker, while in reality, they are unable to choose their destiny. Everyone, except for one young woman.

The Girl with the Red Hair
by Anthony M. Laura
The Girl with the Red Hair tells the story of Hayley Jones, a young woman admitted into a psychiatric facility who slowly begins to lose her grip on reality, as she struggles to find her own sanity.
Coming off a sold out one-night performance in July, it returns starting December 5th for a two-week run at The Alchemical.
This riveting production is written and directed by Anthony M. Laura, owner of Face to Face Films, an independent film & theater production company. Mr. Laura has worked heavily in film & theater for several years.
The play features a predominately female cast dealing with issues rarely spoken about, yet ones that many people face on an everyday basis such as mental illness, loneliness, abuse, institutionalization and sexuality in all forms.
The outstanding cast features Casey Hartnett returning in the lead role as Hayley Jones. She is joined by a stellar ensemble cast featuring Auberth Bercy, Priya Bond, Vivien Cardone,
Dixie Carroll, Alex Commito, Candy Dato, Margie Foley, Alexandra Rooney and Samantha Yestrebsky.
The creative team includes Anthony M. Laura (Playwright/Director), Sofia Licata (Stage Manager),
Rachel Epstein (Set Designer), Philip Lauto (Composer),

Dublin Rising
a new musical

What does a freedom fighter look like?
What if she looks like a prostitute with a silver tongue
and a pistol in her garter?
Set in 1916 Dublin, during Ireland’s war of
independence, Dublin Rising is a musical drama

Light GreenMoss
by Molly Burdick
What do we choose to remember?
Do we cling to the good memories and bury the things that hurt us?
Caroline and Ronnie were happy together until something tears them apart. Eight months later, they both end up at their beach rental and are stuck there together for two weeks, but something is off.
This is a play about letting go and moving on. It is about digging up the shards of a broken past to sever the ropes that bind us to the memories we’ve constructed for ourselves.
