Finally, and at long last: Shipwreck goes Randian with Ayn's doorstop paean to libertarianism and specious causality. Doff your top hat, light a cigar, and raise a flute of Dom to Atlas Shrugged.

In May of 2015 we returned to our home away from home, Brooklyn's Bell House, to take harpoons to noteworthy national treasure Moby Dick. The show proved as monumental as the subject matter, featuring the brilliant writing of Ryan Britt, Alexander Chee, Danielle Henderson, Maris Kreizman, Maya Rodale, and Nate Waggoner — each piece masterfully performed by Cecil Baldwin. Your MC is Amy Stephenson. Your next hour is ours.

We're going way, way over the rainbow with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, thanks to Alani Foxall, Yume Kim, Colin Winnette, Ignacio Zulueta, Lauren Gallagher, and one writer who values their dignity enough to remain anonymous. Penthouse, and furries, and tin dicks, oh my! Read by Steven Westdahl.
