THE VERGE
By Susan Glaspell

In Glaspell’s 1921 masterpiece, botanist Claire Archer is on a quest to create a new life: a plant unlike any that has ever come before. When her husband, lover, and soulmate each arrive in her greenhouse seeking heat in a snowstorm, chaos ensues. But as Claire pushes—sometimes violently—against the constraints of her own good breeding, she wonders if the only way to transcend boundaries is to destroy them. By turns witty farce, devastating philosophical debate, and scathing feminist cry, THE VERGE defies genre and pierces the bounds of theatrical realism.

Directed by Jessie Austrian

Starring Miriam Silverman, Noah Brody, Emily Young, Paul L. Coffey, Amara Leonard, Paco Tolson, and Devin E. Haqq

ICYMI, this fall…👀

We are UNBELIEVABLY excited our friends at @fiasco_theater, in partnership with @publictheaterny, are producing “The Verge” by ETC-featured playwright Susan Glaspell!

In Glaspell’s 1921 masterpiece, botanist Claire Archer is on a quest to create new life: a plant unlike any that has ever come before. When her husband, lover, and soulmate each arrive in her greenhouse seeking heat in a snowstorm, chaos ensues. But as Claire pushes–sometimes violently—against the constraints of her own good breeding, she wonders if the only way to transcend boundaries is to destroy them. By turns witty farce, devastating philosophical debate, and scathing feminist cry, “The Verge” defies genre and pierces the bounds of theatrical realism. Jessie Austrian directs this new production, featuring Tony Award winner Miriam Silverman.

Y’all, this is an American classic that should be hidden no more.
It’s not one to be missed.

🎂 It’s a double ETC birthday over here! George Sand (1804-1876) and Susan Glaspell (1876-1947) were both born on this day: clearly, July 1st is a day for revolutionaries.

This is Part Two: Susan Glaspell.

We. Love. Her. So. Much.

Brightening up the winter is THE STAND IN, our co-production with Fiasco Theater. We’re thrilled to have Crystal Finn return to the WP stage as a writer this season, and to welcome Emily Young as the director of this comic piece.

The Stand In
Written by Crystal Finn
Directed by Emily Young
A Co-Production with Fiasco Theater
January 30 - February 28, 2027

Best friends, Claire and Claudia, try to make it BIG in the movies. But is there room for two stars? Or will one of them always have to be just…. “The Stand In?” An absurdist romp through the madness of the artist’s journey and the toll it can take on what one holds dear.
