Well-meaning neighbors quickly grow into anything but in this hot-button comedy. When an upwardly mobile Latino couple moves next door to the prize-winning garden of a prominent family, feuding over fences and flora spiral into territorial turmoil, exposing deeply rooted notions of race, taste, class and privilege. Which side of the fence are you on?
What if the number of words you could speak was limited to 140 a day? That’s the premise of Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, in which a new couple must choose their words carefully to navigate both their relationship and the outside world.
A hilarious, thought-provoking look at how we use – and waste – language to express love, protest, fear, sorrow, and the everyday ups and downs of life.

“The Last Quiz Night on Earth is a fantastic night down the pub and at the theatre” – North West End
After its resounding success in 2019, 6th Street Playhouse is reprising Million Dollar Quartet. The hit Broadway musical, based on true events, was written by Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux and will be directed and music directed by Steven Lasiter, who also plays Johnny Cash. It runs March 29 to May 4, 2024 in the GK Hardt Theatre.
On a cold December night in 1956, fate brought the Age of Rock n’ Roll’s hottest musicians together at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee for a matchless event that would go down in history. Rockabilly guitarist Carl Perkins was recording with session pianist Jerry Lee Lewis and their music producer, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll” Sam Phillips, when Elvis Presley and then Johnny Cash found their way into the recording studio. What followed was an impromptu jam session that crowned them “The Million Dollar Quartet.”
Million Dollar Quartet captures the contagious spirit, freewheeling excitement, and thrilling sounds of the once-in-a-lifetime event where four of music’s best talents came together. It is a fascinating tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations that is both poignant and funny.
“…a rousing piece of Americana and a tour de force of iconic early rock ’n’ roll… do not miss this show.”
~ Barry Willis, Aisle Seat Review (2019)

In Spring 2024, we continue our Left Edge season with a captivating exploration of human connection and the quest for meaning. Everybody by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins takes audiences on a humorous journey through life’s complexities, enhanced by an innovative on-stage lottery. The Last Quiz Night on Earth by Alison Carr offers a unique, immersive experience as the world faces an asteroid collision, blending humor and heart in a real-life pub quiz setting. Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons by Sam Steiner delves into the power and limitations of language in a witty portrayal of a couple navigating communication constraints. Together, these plays promise a season that balances laughter, introspection, and the beauty of human expression.
FEB 9 – 24Everybody by Brandon Jacobs-JenkinsDirected by Skylar Evans A fascinating and funny riff on the traditional morality play Everyman, Everybody charts one person’s quest to understand the meaning of life. Along the way, they encounter Friendship, Kinship, Stuff, Mind, Five Senses, Understanding and Love, before finally facing one last character, Death. Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins’ highly inventive script includes an on-stage lottery at the start of each performance to determine which actor plays which role. Symbolizing the randomness of death, this last-minute twist requires the actors to memorize every role and brings an exciting edge of unpredictability to every show. The critically acclaimed Everybody earned playwright Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins (Gloria, An Octoroon) his second nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (2018). “Provocative and involving… Wildly funny” – Huffington Post “Fills the heart in a new and unexpected way” —The New Yorker

It’s springtime in Paris,1738. Poets are the rock stars of the day, and young people like Damis have gone metromanie–crazy for poetry. So verse-crazed is Damis, he falls in love with his favorite poetess, not knowing that his idol is actually a wealthy, middle-aged gentleman writing under a pen name! As said gentleman looks to marry off his sexy but dimwitted daughter, we are off and running in a breathless series of complications, plot twists, and mistaken identities. Soon, scheming servants, verbal acrobatics, and mistaken identities launch a breathless series of twists and turns in this breezy translation/adaptation of a rediscovered French farce by comedic master David Ives.
“A marvel of old and new, with punchlines that glisten with classical flair and contemporary savvy! Frisky, competitive wordplay, and high-octane mix-ups…almost criminally enjoyable.” –Washington Post
Considerations: Sexual innuendo and mild adult language.
