Straight from the Fringes: Two Original One-Act Plays, My Life as an "Inspirational Prn" Star by Gabrielle Lenore &
The Furniture Boys by Emily Weitzman
Thursday – Saturday, January 8, 9, 10 at 7:30PM
Sunday, January 11 at 2PM
My Life as An “Inspirational P*rn" Star:
"My Life as An “Inspirational P*rn" Star is a highly autobiographical show narrating Leonore’s experience of being a) hot, and b) neurodivergent, from birth to present day. For the duration of the performance, she is dressed in a burlesque-style outfit accompanied by a powerpoint, a martini glass of indeterminate clear liquid, an Old Hollywood vanity, and the occasional absolute banger (Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘brutal’, to be specific).
Leonore is an incredibly charming and engaging performer — for an hour-long one-woman show with virtually no breaks in dialogue, she holds the audience’s attention in the palm of her hand for the entire span. The dialogue, too, is heartfelt and intelligent, delivered with a sort of polished rage..."

Furniture Boys:
In this absurdist comedy from writer-performer Emily Weitzman, boyfriends are armchairs, lampshades, and futons. Hailed as “hilarious,” “weirdly poignant,” and “infectiously joyous,” FURNITURE BOYS explores how furniture endures, but boyfriends – not so much. Blending theatre, comedy, clown, spoken word and furniture showroom, this one-woman show received multiple 4 and 5 star reviews during its debut at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, including by The Guardian, who called FURNITURE BOYS “shimmeringly silly,” “ingenuous,” and “ridiculous and revelatory.”
A tale of pull-out couches and break-ups and art-making, FURNITURE BOYS examines the impermanence of a relationship, an artistic project, a person, a chair, a self.
Winner of Theatre’s Choice at Off-Broadway’s SoHo Playhouse in NYC, the Fringiest Show Award at the 2025 Orlando Fringe FestN4, and 4 stars in The Guardian, 4.5 stars in The Student, and 5 stars from the Derek Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Directed by Kate Doyle. 'Furniture,' writes one reviewer, 'has never been more moving'.

Something Fishy
Presidential candidate Raymond Bream returns to his hometown of Port Pilchard to make a major announcement—one that could win him the election. Meanwhile, the incumbent President Weever has dispatched a pair of henchmen to town to stop Bream from delivering his speech—by any means necessary.
The showdown unfolds on the stage of the local community center, where an amateur theatre troupe is preparing to open their latest production, The Vicar’s Knickers. As politics collides with farce, everyone is forced into disguises and multiple roles, and suddenly no one is who they appear to be.
Will Bream reach the podium, or will the president’s hatchet men win the day?

This inspiring play celebrates resilience, laughter, and the power of finding your voice even in the face of chaos.
Past Shows- 2025
Meteor Shower – Steve Martin
April 17th – May 4th, 2025
Thursdays – Saturdays at 7:30PM & Sundays at 2PM
Corky and Norm are excited to host Gerald and Laura at their home in the valley outside Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. But as the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, it becomes clear that Gerald and Laura might not be all that they appear to be. Over the course of a crazy, starlit dinner party, the wildly unexpected occurs. The couples begin to flirt and insanity reigns. Martin, using his trademark absurdist humor, bends the fluid nature of time and reality to create a surprising and unforgettably funny new play.

Smart. Sassy. Unapologetically bold.

With laugh-out-loud lines and razor-sharp commentary, Red Hot Patriot is as timely as ever in today’s political landscape.
Come for the laughs. Stay for the truth.

The Merry Wives of Windsor – adapted by Dee O’Brien
July 10th – 27th
Thursdays – Saturdays at 7:30PM & Sundays at 2PM
Imagine if John Cleese, William Shakespeare and Norman Lear had collaborated on a play and released it in 1980 as a sitcom. You would get TheatreFor’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, a new, original adaptation by Dee O’Brien of Shakespeare’s classic farce.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Based on the philosophical fiction and gothic horror novel by Oscar Wilde, this play revolves around a portrait of a young man of questionable character, Dorian, which ages and visually records his varied immoral experiences while he remains young and beautiful. Controversial at the time, the story “ages” very well.

Clone
In a chillingly plausible near-future, clones have been discovered living secretly among us. When Mick’s clone, Robbie, is apprehended and turned over to him as property, what follows is a gripping, claustrophobic power struggle between two genetically identical men—one determined to assert control, the other determined to reclaim his humanity. It is a story of identity and dominance, of blurred lines and buried truths—where even the audience is left to wonder who, if anyone, has the right to decide who matters more.
