Synopsis 

'Psychopathia Paschalis' is a dark comedy-of-manners that satirizes the hypocrisy and dysfunction beneath an upper-middle-class American family. When the Wallace family gathers for Easter, a shocking revelation—that Nick’s “friend” Justin is actually his lover—throws the household into chaos. As tensions erupt, an inept, self-styled detective only makes matters worse. Secrets unravel, bodies pile up, and the family’s fragile civility collapses into madness.

Synopsis 

A Mask & A Whisper is a showcase of two one act comedies written by Alice Gerstenberg. Overtones and He Said She Said. 

Overtones : Two women meet for tea, but beneath their genteel conversation, their unspoken thoughts reveal a far less polite reality. As Harriet and Margaret navigate the rituals of friendship, manners, and social expectation, their inner selves emerge to say what their outward selves cannot. What begins a s a perfectly proper afternoon tea becomes a battle between appearance and desire, and a reminder that the things we think are often far more revealing than the things we say.

He Said She Said : 

A single whisper. One dinner party. Four friends. Two

reputations ruined over an accusation no one can verify.

A s competing versions of a story unfold, memory,

perception, and self-interest collide in a tangle o f who said

what, who did what, and what really happened. In this

playful exploration o f human nature, everyone has a version

of the truth, and some have n o intention of letting it get in

the way of a good story.

Majority Rules is a satirical pop musical that follows Chad Smith, a charismatic but directionless frat star whose campus kingdom collapses when the Green Party moves to ban Greek life nationwide. Recruited by his hyper-competent ex, sorority president Claire Kerr, Chad runs for U.S. President—only to be trapped by a new amendment requiring a life partner for candidates. Enter Pledge Peter, a freshman pressed into political matrimony. As scandals, schemes, and showstoppers erupt, Chad learns that real leadership means stepping aside when it’s someone else’s turn to have a say. Because when it comes to politics, majority rules.

Content Advisory: Strong language, mature themes, and sexual content. Recommended for audience members 16+

Get ready to buzz with excitement at CICADA! One blistering summer. One unforgettable comedy. Get your tickets now!

What's it all about?

When the matriarch of a wealthy family dies, her three adult children have no clue that she’s tasked a down-on-her-luck woman, Leigh, to matchmake them. Over the course of one blistering summer, an unforgettable cast of characters collide in a struggle for money, love, and liberation.

Who wrote it?

Adam LaPorte is a composer, playwright, and librettist from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He wrote his first musical at age 17 for his high school senior thesis project. Other writing credits include: The Baseball Play (Oklahoma Contemporary), June by the Sea (OCU Stripped), Courtship (The Tank), and The Train Stoppers (co-written with Amanda Freedman, DTUAF Winner Best Short). He is a graduate of Oklahoma City University (BM) and NYU’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program (MFA). What he doesn’t know about bugs, he makes up for in heart.

The show is two and a half hours with one 10-minute intermission. Doors open at 6:30 pm.
