"Dream-Tease," at 10:45 p.m. Saturday and Feb. 9 and 10, and 8 p.m. Sunday. Elmiera Tereshchenko directs a macabre performance, with elements of the grotesque, fantastic and dark comedy.

"Zanni Got His Gun," at 10:30 p.m. March 9, 10, 16 and 17. Tony Pisculli directs this commedia dell’art war epic loaded with crusty battlefront cliches, lots of physical comedy and sight gags.
