SUMMARY:Proof
DESCRIPTION:Stage 4th’s Proof is a Mandarin production with English subtitles of David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play. \nA notebook is found in an old house. Inside is a mathematical proof so extraordinary it could change the field. But who wrote it — the brilliant\, unraveling father who devoted his life to mathematics\, or the daughter who barely completed a few university courses? As the question deepens\, so does the play. Proof becomes more than a mystery about authorship. It is also about inheritance\, love\, pain\, and the fear of becoming the person who shaped you. In the end\, every character is searching for proof of something — truth\, worth\, or love.

SUMMARY:Franklinland
DESCRIPTION:Sure\, Benjamin Franklin may have been one of the greatest scientific minds of all time\, but that totally did not make him a great dad. What was it like to be the only son of this legend in his own time? Pressure\, much? With contemporary wit and a sharply critical perspective\, this irreverent comedy satirizes Franklin and his prodigious vanity\, poking at the tension that grows between cherished ideals—of family\, of an American republic—and their imperfect reality.

SUMMARY:Around the Kitchen Table: Crafting Connections
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the intrinsic connection between making and communication\, proposing the physical act of creation as a language in its own right. Rooted in gesture rather than speech\, the works consider how knowledge\, memory\, and care are transmitted through the hands—across generations\, cultures\, and stages of life. Shaped as much by lived experience as by material\, each piece positions making as both an intimate and communal act\, where meaning is formed through touch\, repetition\, and shared presence.

SUMMARY:TESTO
DESCRIPTION:TESTO celebrates transitions\, testosterone and the edges of drag–a chaotic\, heartfelt\, and hilariously unhinged deep dive into the mess of becoming. Here\, performance and reality blur until what’s made-up somehow feels truer than truth. Expect moustache meals\, dykey desires\, and a choreography of guttural sexuality that pinches at the dull flesh of everyday life until it sparkles. At once absurd and sincere\, TESTO finds the magical in the mundane—the moment when laughter curdles into revelation\, and fantasy becomes flesh. It’s awkward\, erotic\, disarming\, and deeply human: a love letter to transition\, embodiment\, and all our leaking edges.

SUMMARY:SLUGS
DESCRIPTION:It’s about nothing. We promise. \nFrom the award-winning performance/comedy duo Creepy Boys (S.E. Grummett & Sam Kruger)\, this anarchic fever dream is a techno-punk concert\, a play\, a clown show\, and a basement puppet nightmare all rolled into one. In a neon haze of chaos and charm\, two performers attempt to make a show about nothing—until meaning starts leaking in through the cracks. \nSLUGS spirals from DIY absurdity into something strangely profound\, fusing electronic comedy songs\, trash puppetry and live camera magic into a meltdown of meaning. It’s “brilliantly smart and beautifully stupid” (The Guardian)\, and it might be the most fun you’ll have while the planet burns. \nFor tonight\, at least\, we are free.
