RICH DOGS September 16 - October 8 Jungle presents WeAreMarried (WAM) in this hilarious production that will re-imagine our lobby as the stage. This near-future, surveillance state comedy follows a romance that unfolds during a chance encounter between two butlers who serve wealthy dogs. SAY ALL THE TRUTH October 27 - November 26 Co-produced with and created by by The Moving Company, this new, uncompromising examination of Molière’s THE MISANTHROPE is a subversive interrogation of society, philosophy, truth, friendship, love; our collective liability, and our individual responsibility.
