For audiences 18 years and older. Contains adult content.

Actress and Comedian Rachel Feinstein is a favorite among fans and fellow comedians alike. Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics To Watch” of 2024, her Netflix standup special Big Guy premiered in May 2024 on the streamer’s list of Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. where it remained for over a week. The hour invites viewers into Rachel’s delightfully chaotic life as the wife of a firefighter, a mother, and a comedian. In the words of her 3-year-old daughter, “my daddy’s a hero and my mommy’s sarcastic.” Rachel explores her marriage to a first responder who is also married to his firehouse family and unpacks what it’s like to navigate emotional intimacy with someone whose job it is to save people’s lives. Chock full of her signature “amazing impersonations” (Vulture), Big Guy endears us to the loveable hodgepodge of characters in Rachel’s world.
Feinstein appeared on Comedy Central’s hit series Inside Amy Schumer and she won a WGA Award for “Best Comedy/Variety Sketch Series” for her work on the most recent season of the show on Paramount+. She was featured on Comedian Colin Quinn’s HBO pandemic special Colin Quinn & Friends: A Parking Lot Comedy Show as well as comedy superstar Chris Rock’s feature film Top Five. Her half hour special premiered on Netflix’s hit series The Standups and her first hour special Only Whores Wear Purple premiered on Comedy Central.
Feinstein was featured alongside Amy Schumer in Hulu’s hit series Life & Beth and she recurred on Amazon’s critically acclaimed Steven Soderbergh series Red Oaks as well as Judd Apatow’s HBO comedy Crashing. She also appeared in the role of “Anne Frank” in Netflix’s Historical Roasts.
On the big screen, Rachel was seen in the feature films Trainwreck and I Feel Pretty. She has also lent her voice to Adult Swim’s Venture Brothers and the phenomenally successful GRAND THEFT AUTO video game franchise. She is a fan favorite on the late-night circuit with multiple appearances on HBO’s Last Week Tonight, CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden, and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Disguise, deception, desire are front and center in this comic tale of love and language. Banished to the enchanted Forest of Arden, the witty and courageous Rosalind disguises herself as a man to navigate a world of romantic role-playing and unexpected love. This pastoral comedy turns the tables on tradition, using clever banter and charming deception to explore gender, identity, and the foolishness of love. This production is part of Play On Shakespeare, which commissions new translations and supports productions of “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse.

By Joy Wilkinson
Directed by Dara Malina
London, 1869. Four very different Victorian women are drawn into the dark underground world of female boxing by the eccentric Professor Sharp. Controlled by men and constrained by corsets, each finds an unexpected freedom in the boxing ring. As their lives begin to intertwine, their journey takes us through grand drawing rooms, bustling theatres and rowdy Southwark pubs, where the women fight inequality as well as each other. But with the final showdown approaching, only one can become the Lady Boxing Champion of the World…

By Anton Chekhov, in a modern version by Leah Ryan
Directed by Terra Vandergaw
During one hot, sticky, lakeside summer, two young artists yearn for love and recognition, while the already famous buckle under the pressures and harsh realities of their success. How far will any of them go to chase validation and meaning? Chekhov’s darkly funny play explores the vulnerability in ambition and the fragility of big dreams and bigger expectations.
