2017 Pulitzer Prize Winner

In the industrial town of Reading, Pennsylvania, a group of friends spend their days on the factory floor and their nights sharing drinks, secrets and laughs. But then layoffs and picket lines begin to erode their trust, and they find themselves pitted against each other in a scalding fight for self-preservation. A brave dive into the fractured heart of working-class America.

“In this exciting, Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Lynn Nottage shows why she's earned the title of one of the finest living contemporary playwrights in America.” – Chicago Theatre Review

FETAL

directed by E. E. Moe
Tempe Center for the Arts Studio Theatre
February 14 - March 1, 2025

Your body is their battleground

An electrifying new play written in reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, FETAL puts a personal face (four personal faces, actually) on an issue that has long been used as a political cudgel. A harrowing journey of four fictional women in a Texas clinic who represent countless real women whose choices have all too recently been ripped away from them.

“Turns out, yes, we do need this play, urgently…one of major events of this still young theatre season.” - Talkin’ Broadway

Feed me, Stray Cat!

The characters are the same. The songs are the same. But the show won’t be. We have watched this long-time favorite on local stages for decades and accrued a whole rolodex of thoughts in the vein of, “…what would happen if we did a production Stray Cat style?” Welp. Time to find out! We’re about to do everything we can to put the ‘horrors’ back into the little shop y’all know and love.

“Holy $&!@&* - IS THIS A PRANK?!?!” - Most of you reading this
"nope.” - Stray Cat Theatre
