This show is an adaptation of Jean Paul Sartre’s existentialist play No Exit. Directed and adapted by Susan Gasparyan, the play follows one man and two women who find themselves in Hell. Except Hell is different than we’ve all been told. For our damned souls, it's a single room they have to occupy together. When will the torture begin?

In this one-act styled after the Victorian drawing room comedy, two people from two different worlds must learn how to get along and uncover the mysteries around the manor-- or be doomed to an eternity of annoying one another.

❓The Pro Tem & Caught Red Handed🔖

This week for showcase, Theatre Threshold premieres another show titled "Wayne's Works" with two stories titled The Pro Tem & Caught Red Handed. "Wayne's Works" is a piece written by Robert Allsop and directed by Jorge Aldaco. This show explores two different stories. The Pro Tem is a scene about a high-flying detective who delays her journey to an award ceremony in her honor, to quickly tie up a loose end. All she must do is squeeze a minor piece of information from a street ju**ie, who is behind the supply of a batch of tainted drugs. Caught Red Handed is a scene about a couple's relationship that seems to be on the verge of collapse after an envelope is delivered anonymously, the contents of which appear to capture images of the man engaged in an illicit relationship. However, as the story quickly unfolds, it becomes evident that all is not what it seems as lie upon lie is exposed, it is revealed that a deadly game of deceit and espionage is afoot.

💙 Straight Play 💜

While on a very important date, Lee, a young theatre critic, runs into his ex-boyfriend, Michael. This awkward situation is exacerbated by the fact that Lee’s current partner, Sally, doesn’t know he’s bis*xual. This modern day rom-com, written by CSULB’s own Lucy Brown, invites everyone into the intricacies of q***r dating and the complications of navigating s*xual fluidity in a society that still clings to a binary. We invite you to laugh, love and most importantly, ask yourselves… “What if I didn’t have to choose?” 🧐
