Rather than investing in individual projects, we invest in artists we believe in, and give them a safe place to create their most challenging work in fully realized productions. Our unique model of producing encourages each member of the ensemble to function as an artist-producer. In this way, we support one another?s productions and empower our artists to make their own creative decisions and to create the kind of bold, original and critically acclaimed theatre for which our company is known.

Summary:
What To Do When You Hate All Your Friends is a play about impossible people trying to make impossible friendships possible.
Matt is a guy who hates all his friends. Celia is a woman at the center of The Friends, a secret group that has perfected friendship through specific rules and a rigid ranking system. Matt falls for Celia, but Celia has been burnt in relationships too many times, and so insists that she and Matt remain "just Friends."
Can a guy who hates all his friends and a woman who needs friendship to go by-the-book figure out a way to spend time together without going mental? Set in a world of secret hottub parties, craigslist hookups, and the myriad of ways people try to control intimacy by keeping it away, this edgy and witty comedy looks at how romance and friendship works - or doesn't work - in the way we live now.
