In this outrageous satire about stereotypes, political correctness flies out the window as two Chinese-American siblings search for their authentic selves. Albert Chen is a computer programmer so modest he lets others take credit for his work. His sister Jennifer, a doctor, is so professionally driven she can’t sustain a relationship (even if she could find someone worthy of her work ethic). Despite their Ivy League educations, musical virtuosity and impeccable manners, the siblings mount a delayed adolescent rebellion against their disappointed Tiger Mother (and equally demanding Tiger Father). They embark on an “Asian Freedom Tour” that takes them to the People’s Republic of China, where the tour goes — no spoilers — terribly wrong. By Mike Lew. Directed by Natsu Onoda Power. [less-]

Don't miss the hilarious and disturbing Tony Award Nominated, Hand to God written by Robert Askins. The play is set in the devoutly religious, relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas, Margery (Sharon Eddy) is a widow whose husband has recently died. To help her find a purpose, her minister, Pastor Greg (Paul Davis) has asked her to create a youth puppetry ministry with reluctant teenagers - her awkward and introverted son, Jason (Gabe Zak) the troubled bully Timothy (Jamie Brill) and Jason’s crush, smart and sassy Jessica (Kelsey Yudice.) Jason's funny, expletive-spewing sock puppet, Tyrone, takes on a life of his own as the characters delve into faith, morality and human nature. While laughing sometimes uncomfortably at the choices these characters make, the play explores sex, relationships, anger, grief, libido, loneliness, mourning, and the hypocrisy of religion. There is a deep darkness to this show that is countered by an abundance of humor. Hand to God contains strong language, violent content, sexual situations and is not appropriate for children A portion of proceeds from the production will be designated to Community Crisis Services crisis hotlines.

If you're a fan of alt comedy from the '90s, 2000s and beyond, chances are you're already a fan of Brian Posehn and don't even know it.

Known for his self-deprecating sense of humor and lifelong love of comic books and heavy metal, Posehn joined Patton Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis and Maria Bamford on the "Comedians of Comedy" tour, and starred in the documentary and Comedy Central series of the same name.
