Featherbaby is a rambunctious, foul-mouthed Amazon parrot whose life is upended when their human Angie, a crime-scene photographer with a dark sense of humor, begins a relationship with Mason, a part-time competitive jigsaw puzzler. Twists and turns abound as the uber-territorial Featherbaby launches a full-on war against Mason. But when something unexpected occurs, the two competitors for Angie’s affection find themselves in an altogether different kind of relationship, one that calls into focus questions about the meaning of bonding, friendship, competition, respect, and love.
Cautions: Mature themes and language.
Written by David Templeton; directed by Skylar Evans.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. It’s the year 400, the wars are over, the country has been stolen by madmen. For the two lowly servants charged with cleaning up the bodies, it feels like the end of the world.
Set just after the blood-soaked conclusion of Shakespeare’s sensationally gruesome tale, this 7-times Tony-award nominated play – part slapstick, part drama – will have you laughing even as you feel the terror.

For the first show of its inaugural season, Mercury Theater presents, “Pins and Needles,” an unjustly forgotten piece of musical theater history that speaks powerfully to the present day.
This musical revue by composer Harold Rome and a crew of Depression Era scribes was first performed by members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union in 1937.
With a modern day cast of 10, the theater has culled the best songs and sketches from the revue’s ever-changing four-year Broadway run.

Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and quickly became the queen of rock & roll with her unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and coated in Southern Comfort.

This music revue is a musical journey celebrating Janis and her biggest musical influences—icons like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith. All will appear on stage, with four backup singers bringing these icons to life.
Directed by Carl Jordan; Music Direction by Aja Gianola-Norris.

Eureka Day is a private California elementary school with a Board of Directors that values inclusion above all else – that is, until an outbreak of the mumps forces everyone in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise, the board realizes with horror that they’ve got to do what they swore they never would: make a choice that won’t please absolutely everybody.
By Johnathan Spector; Directed by Steven David Martin.
