SUMMER 2026
As You Like It: Bard Bites Edition
Directed by Kimberly Laberge
Auditions June 15th, Performs June 26th - 28th, 2026 at Inspiration Studios.

Romance, mistaken identities, and gender flipped on its head through Shakespeare's comedic classic - with a twist. The cast must brave increasingly hotter sauces while performing and manage to keep their cool. Oh, and one more thing - they've only got four rehearsals. The more we raise, the hotter it gets! Come join us for the face melting chaos.

FALL 2026
K&K New Plays: A Competition and Exposition of New Works
Performs October 2 - 4, 2026 at Inspiration Studios.

An exposition of select scenes from new plays submitted by local playwrights, with talent acts and celebration throughout - and you, the audience, vote which play will go to full production in Kith & Kin's fifth season! Playwright and director application details will be announced soon - stay tuned.

SPRING 2027
Wolf Play
By Hansol Jung
Directed by Heather David
Performs May 14 - 23, 2027 at Inspiration Studios.

In a world where people struggle to have children, one American couple decides to ‘un-adopt’ their young Korean son because they have a newborn at home. After an internet chat room search for the right family, the father ‘re-homes’ the boy with a le***an couple, where one half is desperate for a child and the other half is fighting for her career. As the boy — who thinks he’s a wolf, but is really a puppet – adjusts to his new life, he forms bonds with the unlikeliest of culprits while the rest of the adults squabble about what is ‘best for the child.’ Wolf Play is a messy, funny, and moving theatrical experience that grapples with where family allegiance lies.

COMING NEXT:

We are so excited to announce the return of our favorite fundraiser, Bard Bites!

We're packing it in! Today is your FINAL chance to see Of Thread and Thorn. Join us at Inspiration Studios for our 2pm closing performance.

7:30. Tonight.

Of Thread and Thorn is nearly closed, with only two performances left - don't miss it!

"There’s quite a bit of rarely-tapped power in the more casual social nature of a few different lives playing out on a small stage [...] It's remarkably refreshing stuff that is not without some deeper thematic anchor."

- Russ Bickerstaff, The Small Stage

Come see our "remarkably refreshing" show - we are back this weekend! Tickets are available here:

"Rosalind's monologue feels genuinely Elizabethan."
- Anna Marie Zorn, Cat Scratch Theatre

"Aunt Roz, who is their guardian (of sorts) played to the tipsy hilt by Sandra Renick. Renick sports a larger than life persona here. "
- Ed Heinzelman, An Intuitive Perspective

Come see Roz in all her glory TOMORROW as we return for our final weekend of performances! Tickets are available here:
