ERA’s MOSCOW! is a drinking-game version of Anton Chekhov’s play THREE SISTERS. Olga, Irina, and Masha are sisters living in an insignificant town in Russia. They spend a lot of time talking about how all they really want to do is go back to Moscow, where everything is better. The town’s people come and go through the sisters’ house, which they own with their brother, Andrey. Everyone is so emotionally erratic – is it because they’re Russian? Perhaps it’s because they’re drunk. THREE SISTERS examines the frivolity of privileged life; MOSCOW! intensifies it with live music, dancing, and vodka.

The agony and the ecstasy of "self-help" get a delirious makeover in this madcap dance-theatre extravaganza. Part 1960's dance party and part Nietzschean nightmare, Whammy! prods and probes the American fever dream where Dr. Phil, Diazepam and daily affirmations crash headlong in self-medication, suicide and The Shirelles. WTF? Want to know the seven secrets to a sane self? You know you do! And there’s only one way to find out!

A postmodern collage that reimagines Marlowe's tragic hero as an ambitious businessman who strikes a deal with the devil to become the most magical and powerful leader on the world stage.

How much is a soul worth? Based on Goethe's most celebrated work, ERA’s experimental musical, FAUST (go down with all the re$t), is a post-modern, rock-opera-adaptation in which Heaven is the bank and everyone prays to the Almighty Dollar. FAUST (go down with all the re$t) is a full-length theatrical production created by ERA’s ensemble of theatre artists with text from Goethe’s Faust, Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita, and contemporary television game shows. The script was created by the ensemble. The music was created by Kid Scientist. Join us for this capitali$t tragedy with music, dancing, and drinking!

As the 2017 St Lou Fringe Festival local headline act, ERA created its latest experiment in theatre: SNOW WHITE. This new adaptation of the old story sources the novel Snow White by Donald Barthelme, Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the Grimm brothers' Schneewittchen. Who is Snow White? What does she fear? Whom does she love?

ERA commissioned six playwrights to play a game of telephone that began with the last scene of Romeo and Juliet. The result: six new plays, each a re-interpretation of the last, which six actors perform for you.

This high-octane show includes every song from Green Day's album, American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown. Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny's attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day's groundbreaking album to execute the story line.
