Get Ready for a Killer Showbiz Comedy!

Talent, ambition… and murder? Buckle up for Ruthless!, the hilariously twisted musical where the spotlight can be deadly. Meet eight-year-old Tina Denmark—a pint-sized diva who’s certain she was born to play Pippi Longstocking in her school musical. And if she has to knock off the competition to get the part? Well… showbiz is tough.

This Off-Broadway cult favorite is a deliciously campy satire packed with sharp wit, outrageous twists, and over-the-top characters. Think Gypsy meets The Bad Seed—with jazz hands.

Greed Runs in the Family

Lillian Hellman’s searing classic The Little Foxes storms the stage at Island City Stage with all its ruthless ambition, razor-sharp dialogue, and Southern gothic splendor.

Set in the Deep South at the turn of the 20th century, this gripping drama follows the wealthy but morally bankrupt Hubbard family, bound by blood but torn apart by greed. At the center is Regina, a calculating and charismatic woman determined to get her share of the American Dream—no matter the cost. Together with her cruel brothers Oscar and Benjamin, the Hubbards will stop at nothing to secure a fortune. But when Regina’s ailing husband refuses to fund their scheme, the claws come out and the lies begin to spiral.

With money on the line and family loyalty up for sale, the Hubbards prove one chilling truth: some people eat the earth—and some just stand by and watch.

What if your favorite love story never included someone like you?

Meet Henry Sullivan—27, gay, autistic, and completely enchanted by the sweeping romance of 19th-century British novels. He’s read Wuthering Heights 67 times; dreamed every scene… but nothing in those pages prepared him for the complexities of modern dating.

When Henry meets Joseph, he begins journey through love, heartbreak, identity, and acceptance—navigating a world that doesn’t always understand him, and learning to write his own kind of love story.

Funny, moving, and deeply human, Light Switch is a poignant new play about the power of imagination, the longing for connection, and the courage it takes to be truly seen.

A Florida Premiere That’s All About the Power of the Page

In 1980s Manhattan, words are everything—especially for Ezra, a celebrated children’s book author, and Nancy, his fiercely loyal editor. Their creative partnership has shaped stories that delight generations. Recently, though, Ezra has been suffering from writer’s block and is far past deadlines to deliver a new book. Then a new voice enters the conversation, inspiring a controversial ending to his new book, and pushing his relationship with Nancy to the brink.

One School. One Outbreak. Infinite Opinions.

Welcome to Eureka Day, the ultra-progressive private school in California where every voice matters—until a mumps outbreak turns harmony into hysteria.

In this wildly relevant and razor-sharp comedy, a well-meaning Board of Directors prides itself on consensus and inclusion. But when public health collides with personal beliefs, even the most open-minded parents find themselves at odds. As tensions rise and Zoom meetings spiral into chaos, the community must confront the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, doing the right thing means not pleasing everyone.

Bitingly funny and startlingly timely, Eureka Day is a smart, satirical look at parenting, privilege, and the minefield of modern communication.
