  • Dogteam Theatre Project presents Disquiet by Ivan Vyrypaev

    In the Manhattan penthouse of reclusive, Nobel-nominated writer Ula Richte, a carefully staged interview with a Polish journalist is meant to cement her legacy. With her agent and lawyer steering every word, the evening begins under tight control—until the script falls apart. What follows is an unguarded reckoning with the dark side of success, the cost of denying one’s roots, and the fierce, exhilarating courage it takes to tell the truth.

  • Dogteam Theatre Project presents The Oakwood Project by Lucas Kavner '06.5

    Oakwood is a North Hollywood apartment complex that houses young performers and their guardians during brief, hopeful stays in Los Angeles. Around the kids linger the half-permanent residents of a transient industry: an aging acting coach, a struggling actress who never left, college kids drawn by the cheap rent and dorm-like atmosphere. In Oakwood, nearly everyone is passing through, and nearly everyone is under pressure—to succeed, to belong, and to make the sacrifices mean something.
