In GOOD PENNY, the Bacchae becomes a lens for examining the divine authority of money—the holy dollar that shapes our existence.  Presented through seven distinct tales, Good Penny explores profit, breaking even, and the agony of total loss. Just as Dionysus introduced a wild new worship to Thebes, punishing those who doubted his power, so does money emerge here as an elemental force, not a mere mortal invention. This piece invites audiences to engage in an unflinching conversation on the many faces of currency—the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.

 

Performances are free and open to the public; reservations required.

Hollow House is  a mid-19th century house, now a Hudson Valley farm-to-table restaurant. Liam and Madeline, former Brooklynites, own it. Keisha and Dante, Hudson Valley natives, work there. Zoe’s coming back—famous now. A riff on Variations on a Theme meets The Cherry Orchard, Hollow House fractures time, layering surreal interruptions with sharp commentary on history’s grip on the present. Talking animals, a prison break, and unspoken power dynamics erupt as fragile civility crumbles. Hollow House interrogates the stories we repeat and the systems that hold us captive.
