There’s always something happening at @play: a performance, a workshop, a night of stand-up or spoken word.
Our space brings together artists, ideas, and communities in a space built for sharing and connection.
Some nights are big and buzzing, others more intimate, but all of them are made with intention. We’re here to support bold work, fresh voices, and everything in between.
Take a look at what’s coming up. Come watch something, try something, or just hang out. There’s always room.

- ’How to Overthrow your student government’, a play about Jen Belcher, who may have lost her election for student council president, but with a little help from Julius Caesar, she can always overthrow the school government instead. Any time an ambitious, angry potential despot utters the phrase “democracy sucks,” Caesar appears to lead them down the path to ultimate power. But as her coup escalates from choosing an appropriately glorious title and signature look to naming scapegoats and seizing the media, Jen must ask herself just how far she's willing to go. A wickedly smart comedy that explores how autocrats, past and present, consolidate power and exploit our fears.

Three madcap narrators chronicle the tale of the mixed-up lovers as they wander through a forest full of whoosh bush tush beasts and fairies dueling with bumballoon swords. Told in rhyming couplets, this reimagining is how Shakespeare’s magical tale might have played if Dr. Seuss had gotten his hands on it...
