THEATERLIFE

by SKY GILBERT

Directed by TOM ROWAN

TheatreLife by Sky Gilbert dives into the intricate, provocative dynamics of a theatrical troupe gathered under the roof of their enigmatic director. A talented young actor whose youthful charm captures the director's fascination sets off tensions within the cast. As rehearsals blend with the reality of their intertwined lives, the play explores themes of truth, illusion, and mortality, culminating in a performance where art mirrors life in unexpected ways. Gilbert offers a witty yet piercing look at the vulnerabilities behind theatrical masks and the profound cost—and thrill—of living authentically.

TOSOS PRESENTS…

SEPTEMBER 2025

A group of friends escape to the Berkshires for a week-long getaway almost a year after their friend Abby’s untimely passing. Despite their efforts to keep their pasts outside the walls of their secluded AirBnB cabin, their grief continues to haunt them until they have no choice but to confront it or die trying to avoid it. A play about bugs, strangers in the woods, and the unrelenting grasp of guilt.

BARRY BOEHM’s OUR HOUSE

Opening 2026

OUR HOUSE is about family. In Iowa, the year before marriage equality is recognized by the Supreme Court, Andy, an ACT-Up NY veteran and his husband are to host the wedding of their nephew Brendan to Eugene, who is African-American. The happy occasion is threatened when the young couple venture out into the neighborhood and a confrontation with locals force this modern family to face some hard facts about what it takes to make everyone feel safe in “our house.” It's a hopeful comedy packed with honest truths, similar in style to HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere.”
