Trisha Lee considers herself open-minded and accepting, at least, compared to other mothers in her conservative hometown of Sparkton, Texas. But when her teenager Jo comes out as genderqueer, Trisha’s comfortable life comes under attack by her church, the local high school, and even her own family. Hilarious and heartfelt, The Pink Unicorn traces one conservative woman’s journey from tolerance to acceptance to solidarity.

Tribes

Billy, born deaf into a fast-talking, academic family, was never taught sign language. Pushed by his parents to assimilate into the hearing world by reading lips, he has spent most of his life flying under the radar. But when a young woman introduces him to the Deaf community, Billy decides it is time his family learns to communicate with him on his terms. Told in spoken English and sign language, Tribes explores the danger of not listening—and what it means to be truly heard.

KTC favorite Karl Gregory will be back at the Kitchen in the role of Billy's brother Daniel.

One of the New York Times’ Top Ten Plays of 2015! Six strangers in search of serenity meet at a wellness retreat for what they all hope will be a life-changing five-day experience in this hit Off-Broadway comedy by Bess Wohl. In the overwhelming quiet of the woods, they attempt to abandon technology and observe a vow of silence while being guided by an unseen guru, who challenges them to confront internal demons and seek peace. Though it employs very little dialogue, there is definitely nothing quiet about Small Mouth Sounds, a luminous and compassionate new play that asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.
