A House Divided
Theater, 90 mins
March 20-30, 2025 at The NuBox
Like many Americans, the Gebauers were barely on speaking terms in 2016. A long-haul trucker and Trump supporter from rural Pennsylvania, Jim steered clear of his progressive wife Rosalie, a grade-school teacher from Philadelphia, until election day put them and their two children on a collision course that ended in separation. Five years and one pandemic later, the family comes together on Thanksgiving in an even more polarized atmosphere. Will they navigate the minefield of issues dividing America in the fall of 2021, or will they finalize their divorce? The New York premiere of a new play by Joshua Crone directed by Thoeger Hansen and produced by Night Cook Studio. Featuring Kinah Britton, Will Maizel*, Jenny Martel*, Adam McDowell*, Mark Thomas McKenna*, Hayley Pace, Tiffany Ray, Alyssa Simon, and Jocelyn Creekmur.

Ashes Ashes at Yellow Bicycle Theatre gives audiences a closer look at Enola Gay pilots in a tale that spans decades
By Brenda Hillegas
“Yellow Bicycle Theater is a fantastic new black box theatre and art house cinema just behind Love Park… The theatre’s intimate setting is perfect for the portrayal of real-life Enola Gay pilots Paul Tibbets (played by James C. Gavin) and Robert Lewis (Crone). You’ll find yourself down a rabbit hole of information, what ifs, and a close look at what could have been going on inside of their heads…and so many others at that time… Crone’s story grip’s viewers as we witness the pilots’ encounters with two young women who turn out to be a big part of their history – the Hiroshima survivor turned prostitute Miko (Mayo Kinoshita) and Japanese-American journalist Asuna (Kassidy Kimata)… This is a not-to-be-missed Fringe Festival pick. With only four performances left, you need to make a plan to see it this weekend or next Thursday.” [Full Review]
