The last piece
A new musical by Shreya Jha (Book, Music, and Lyrics)
When Andrew suddenly reappears in his ex-wife Amara’s life after a new diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, they begin to re-hash the memories of their 20-year marriage to reconnect to their past and stall Andrew’s decline. They find themselves growing closer again – until Andrew begins to forget her. Amara is left to reckon with her unresolved feelings surrounding their split and make an incredibly difficult decision. The Last Piece highlights the withstanding bond of love and how much of ourselves are made up of the fragile memories we hold.

The word of the day
By Cori Diaz
Twenty-five-year-old Nicolet Diana is known for winning the International Linguistica, a spelling competition as rigorous as the Olympics. But after a world famous linguist is found dead, Nicolet is put under under house arrest, and is convinced someone is communicating with her through her local newspaper’s word-of-the-day segments. Concerned she may be a danger to herself, the police send in Magdalena, a hairstylist turned crisis counselor…who happens to be Nicolet’s ex-girlfriend. Set against a backdrop of obsession, manipulation, and linguistic prowess, The Word of the Day is a powerful examination of toxic devotion, manipulative power dynamics, and the dangerous allure of words.
