JOB
JOB is a sleek, riveting psychological thriller that begins as a routine job interview—and quickly becomes something far more dangerous. As two strangers face off behind closed doors, power shifts, truths blur, and every word carries consequences. Clever, suspenseful, and unsettlingly funny, the play probes ambition, control, and the quiet violence of modern work culture, asking who really holds the power in the room—and what it costs to succeed.

Mother. Daughter. Father. Son. is a funny and deeply human new play about what happens when love, memory, faith, and responsibility collide. When an aging mother moves in with her fiercely independent daughter, long-buried tensions surface—alongside unexpected friendships next door that complicate everything. As two families navigate caregiving, loss, identity, and the limits of control, the play asks urgent questions about who gets to decide what’s best for the people we love. By turns laugh-out-loud hilarious and quietly devastating, Mother. Daughter. Father. Son. is an intimate, compassionate portrait of family—chosen and inherited—and the messy, beautiful work of holding on while learning when to let go.

Trapped is a laugh-out-loud solo cabaret play inspired by a completely true - and wildly unbelievable - misadventure. When Trevor tries to retrieve his umbrella and accidentally gets locked inside the luggage compartment under a Megabus as it takes off, he does what any reasonable person would do: panic, sing, overshare, and make a viral tik tock. Clever, chaotic, and deeply charming, Trapped turns a travel nightmare into a hilarious and heartfelt celebration of storytelling, survival, and the strange places our minds go when there’s absolutely nowhere else to go. Written and starring NYC Actor and Glens Falls native Trevor Strader (son of Hockey announcer Legend Dave Strader).
