THE MAN IN RED by Arian Moayed

In this holiday dazzler written, directed and produced by Arian Moayed (“Succession,” Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, The Humans), Santa keeps a closer eye on the naughty and nice lists than we think, especially during "unprecedented times." But maybe Mrs. Claus, the hardworking team at the North Pole, and one melancholy little girl might keep the man in the red suit from singing the blues.

THE MAN IN RED, our first musical, features music by Butch Phelps (Heavy Pour, Play Sounds) and performances by Brian Cox (“Succession,” Broadway’s The Great Society), Jayne Houdyshell (“Only Murders in the Building,” The Humans, Little Women), Phylicia Rashad (A Raisin in the Sun, “David Makes Man,” “The Cosby Show”), Brandon Dirden (All the Way, The Piano Lesson), Javier Muñoz (Hamilton, In the Heights), Lily Santiago (“La Brea,” Measure for Measure, A Doll’s House, Part 2), Cecilia Suárez, Sue Jean Kim (Office Hour, “The Blacklist,” Cop Show), Brendan Donaldson (The Complete and Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O'Neill, vol. 1, Prophecy), Rodney Gardiner (The Persians, The Last Year in the Life of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King), and Lauren Sharpe (Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, The Complete and Condensed Stage Directions of Eugene O'Neill, Boardwalk Empire).

THANKSGIVING FOR ONE by Hamish Linklater (Re-Release)

After his hit NUDITY RIDER, OBIE winner Hamish Linklater returns for another helping of irresistible comedy: the world-premiere commission THANKSGIVING FOR ONE.

Marjorie Mumms (Jean Smart) would rather not be eating her holiday turkey alone at the Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. She can’t get a decent gin & tonic, her daughter is spending Thanksgiving in another state, and her crazed waiter has cast her in a festive audio play. It might just be time to flip the table – and the script.

With direction by Tony winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Paradise Blue, Your Blues Ain’t Sweet Like Mine), THANKSGIVING FOR ONE unites actor-writer Linklater (“Legion,” “The Big Short,” The Public’s Shakespeare in the Park) with Emmy winner Jean Smart (HBO’s “Watchmen”, “Fargo,” “Frasier”). After the play, join host Claudia Catania for a behind-the-mic chat with the artists.

THE THOMPSONS by Andrew Massey

Ah, the holiday season! The wine is flowing. In-laws are gossiping in the kitchen. And the Thompson family is indulging in their most bizarre Thanksgiving ritual: the Turkey Trot. Mischievous and tender, THE THOMPSONS by Andrew Massey (EST’s Youngblood) is a comedy about the wacky families we love, break, and remake.

Arin Arbus (TFANA, Broadway’s Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune) directs an all-star cast of PoA regulars: William Jackson Harper (“The Good Place,” PoA’s 2B Or Not 2B), Sue Jean Kim (Office Hour, PoA’s 52nd to Bowery…), April Matthis (Toni Stone, PoA’s G.O.A.T.), and Amy Ryan (“The Office,” PoA’s Clean Slate). After the play, host Claudia Catania joins the cast, director, and playwright to discuss Thanksgiving traditions and family dynamics.
