The Little Box performance schedule is as follows:

Thursday, November 12th (Double Bill)
Flock of Seagulls by Stuart Hoffman, directed by Derek Koger, Featuring Shawn Galligan and Brian McNally.

Two friends learn that they are characters trapped inside a play. Finding the script, they begin discovering mistakes and arguing over what to do. As the criticisms progress, the roommates must decide if these events are intentional acts or genuine mistakes by the playwright. Meanwhile, a higher force is at work attempting to make the decision for them and won't take no for an answer.


Wave by Jaclyn Villano, Directed by Michael Parsons, Featuring Marla Williams 

Life's defining moments hit us in waves:  Waves of fear and denial, of anger and despair; waves of hope and promise.  Wave follows Reese Thompson's journey to find courage, wisdom and love after a life-changing event.  This one-woman show incorporates ten distinct characters, each with an indelible effect on Reese's life. This performance features Marla Williams, a Columbus theater veteran and a Theatre Daedalus Ensemble Member.  


Friday, November 13th
Musicalling by Ian Adler

Although The Musicalling is not yet in rehearsals, a group of stage technicians find themselves faced with a surprisingly packed house. What was likely to be a quiet evening of set construction and lighting design becomes the performance of a lifetime as the new cast of The Musicalling finds themselves center-stage, out of their element, and on the path to self-discovery. Written by Ian Adler (Matt Greenfield) and arranged by Joe Barone, Featuring the talents of LaJuan Foust, Amanda Clark, Shawn Michelle, Matt Goldman, Liz Huff and Melissa DeLucchi.


Saturday, November 14th (Double Bill) - SOLD OUT!
Mother/Tongue by Claire Robinson May, Directed by Danielle Hisey

Workaholic mother Margot obsessively prepares Julia Child's 1960's-era beef tongue recipe, vanishes for hours, and starts speaking only French.  Her two teenagers keep their own secrets as they struggle in the shadow of parental expectations, and no one is talking.  Margot's husband Tom, mother-in-law Beverly, and best friend Jane try to slice and dice to the heart (or is it the tongue?) of the matter - and dinner is served.  Mother/Tongue serves up isolation, communication, motherhood, food and love.  Bon appétit! Featuring Jean Colerider, Christopher Hisey, John-Paul Makowski, Kate Miller, Amy Pawlukiewicz, Brian Pedaci and Kay Rommel 

Bon Voyage, mon Oie (Goodbye, my Goose), written by Tara Broeckel Ooten, Directed by Michael Sepesy

Terrified by the natural world, barricaded in their home, alienated from each other, two brothers, Loch and Rood, go about the ritual of their daily lives. Bon Voyage, mon Oie is an absurd look at the story of two shut-ins who, despite their fear of the outside world, each attempt to overcome social paralysis in their own way as they struggle with the meaning of life, language, and the difficult circumstances that accompany illness. Featuring Andrew Narten and Doug Kusak. 

 

Sunday, November 15th (Double Bill)
Au Bout de Son Latin by Ryan Charles Ramer, directed by Kevin Stephanos Charnas

Take a look inside the head of Sam, a hopeless romantic who deals better with fantasy than reality.  What happens when Sam throws a party to get close to a love interest?  Experience the night from the perspective of Sam's internal monologue in a revealing process of deceit, duplicity, and courage. 

girl by Jenna Messina, Directed by Dan Kilbane

girl, a new play by Jenna Messina, is the story of a girl forced to leave her home, and then forced to return three years later, only to discover a mother and a sister both paralyzed with fear and toilet paper.  girl is an exploration is family, choices, change and fixing the unfixable.
