Productions · 2026–2027
Four to six plays this fall and winter. One more in early 2027. A Women's Day Festival in spring. And the full ritual premiere of HINENI: In Sarah's Tent, when the right presenting sponsor comes forward.
We produce short runs of 3–4 performances. This keeps the work fresh, the casts energized, and the community engaged. Every performance matters.
Where possible, we use two casts — so no one gets exhausted, everyone gets to perform, and the work benefits from two different interpretations of the same material.
Every production includes at least one matinee with a talk-back. The conversation after the performance is part of the ritual. The audience is always part of the circle.
A play is not finished until it has been heard.
The practice here is to workshop every play before it goes to print. This is not a rehearsal for publication — it is the essential final stage of writing. A play lives in the mouths of actors and the ears of audiences. Until it has been there, it is not yet fully itself.
The Hineni Circle is the workshop. When you join the circle and participate in a reading or a production, you are not just performing — you are completing the play. Your voice, your presence, your response is part of the writing process.
This is why the circle matters. This is why your participation matters. The published play — the one that goes out into the world and gets performed in temples and schools and living rooms — will carry the trace of your work in it.
Ten Feet
A new intergenerational play about who we welcome, who we exclude, and what it costs us. A high school senior and a Green Valley senior share the stage in a work that asks the essential question: how close will you let someone stand?
The Archivist
A ritual play about memory, preservation, and the stories we choose to keep. What do we archive? What do we let go? An intergenerational cast brings two generations of memory into one space.
Additional Fall/Winter Productions
Active conversations are underway with theaters and black box venues for short runs of several additional plays. Four to six total productions are planned for fall and winter 2026.
Early 2027 Production
One additional production is planned for early 2027, before the spring festival season. Title and venue to be announced.
Women's Day Festival
A full festival of ritual theater celebrating women's voices, women's stories, and the power of gathering. Multiple plays, speakers, and ritual performances — one extraordinary day for audiences who have never seen anything quite like it.
HINENI: In Sarah's Tent
The full participatory ritual. 36 women. 2000 years. 2 hours. There is no audience — only participants. This is the work that everything else has been preparing for.
