This year, the series will feature four new plays, including one MTC commission; "The Heart Sellers" on Mar 6 at 4:00 PM by Lloyd Suh, directed by May Adrales. For new Americans Jane and Luna, life in the USA has left them feeling isolated and invisible – until a chance encounter brings them together on Thanksgiving; "As Above" by Christine Quintana on Mar 13 at 4:00 PM.  Jo, a once-prominent botanical researcher eight years sober, begins to rebuild her life. An estranged daughter, a grieving mother, and a lonely brother seek to communicate with one another through a noisy world. "Watch Me" by Dave Harris on Mar 20 at 4:00 PM. How can I get over slavery if I can't even get over my ex? "Watch Me" is the wild ass love story of a couple from their first date, to their first time, to a reckoning with sex, ancestry, desire, and Black Jesus; and "An Oxford Man" by Else Went, directed by Emma Rosa Went on Mar 27 at 4:00 PM. Join us, dear audience, for a buoyant and raucous mythologization of the life and times of the first “modern” transgender man, Laurence Michael Dillon.
