## The Lucky Ones

TLAB SHARES HOSTS The Lucky Ones by Lia Romeo Directed by Katie Birenboim Produced by Boomerang Theatre Company Get Tickets In THE LUCKY ONES, Lia Romeo delivers a sharply observed, emotionally resonant new play about the complexities of female friendship in a shifting world. Vanessa is confronting a devastating illness. Janie is beginning a new romance. As lifelong best friends, they’ve shared everything—until their lives begin to pull them in different directions. With wit, honesty, and deep compassion, Romeo examines what it means to show up for each other when the stakes are highest, and how societal expectations of women shape—and strain—even our closest bonds. FEATURING: Purva Bedi*, David Carl* and Danielle Skraastad* *Actor appearing courtesy of Actors Equity Association Illustration by Kerri Boccard Boomerang Theatre Company is committed to captivating diverse audiences with bold, thought-provoking stories.

## The Falcon King

TLAB SHARES HOSTS THE FALCON KING directed by Gretchen van Lente Get Tickets Using natural and found-material assemblage puppets, The Falcon King tells a tale of confusion, heartbreak, anger and action. The frogs tried to warn them, but when the birds’ babies all start dying panic ensues and they don’t know who’s to blame or who to turn to. Will the cursed King help save them or sit idly by, watching from his castle on the hill? In a world where humans’ war on insects is destroying their The recovery of the Peregrine Falcon from the brink of extinction remains to this day one of the most successful conservation efforts in history. What is most remarkable is that it was done almost entirely through grassroots efforts by people across the country. How can we ensure this never happens again? What did we learn? All puppets in the production are made from found, natural and recycled materials. The story of the play follows the history of DDT and humans’ resistance to its use paralleled with the birds’ almost medieval response, a la the myth of the cursed Fisher King of Arthurian legend. The script is created from found text, including Richard Wagner’s Parsifal, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, T.S. Eliot’s Wasteland, articles from 1950s Better Homes and Gardens, Fish & Wildlife reports, and much more. The reuse of materials in both the puppets and the play is a thoughtful reflection of the ecological themes of the show. The piece has received a Henson Foundation Workshop and Production grant. It has been workshopped at ART/NY studios, at the La Mama puppet slam, Dixon Place’s Puppet Blok, and the International Puppet Fringe Festival. It received a prestigious PATCH residency in the fall of 2026. Research for the show has been conducted at the World Center for Birds of Prey, the Science History Institute, The Othmer Library of Chemical History, and with the Princeton Department of Ornithology.

## DREAMBORNE THEATER

Atelier @ Theaterlab Hosts TWO SHOWS BY DREAMBORNE THEATER Dreamborne Theater’s THE SPRING THAT NEVER CAME by Ye Ye directed by Victoria Helu Chen GET TICKETS The Spring That Never Cam e, (p erformed in Mandarin Chinese) follows Axin, an 18-year-old senior trapped by exam culture and the demand for a “secure” future. In her made-up theater universe, “Three Thousand Springwaters,” she summons the sex worker Gou, who claims to be a performance artist of the avant-garde spectrum. Up until Gou’s defiance fractures the universe and forces Axin to release Gou from his grip, the unseen “Audience” lords over her body, her desires, and her thoughts. What Axin has given up in order to stay alive must be confronted. CAST: Joan Zhao (赵天怡), Serena Zhang (张司涵), Kat (肖美萱), and John Jiang (蒋皓宇) and ANGELS, by Tara P. Nyingjè directed by Yannis Ning GET TICKETS angels, (performed in English) is a solo one-act set in a quiet bar, structured as seven “loops” that re-stage the same existential dilemma under shifting regimes of observation, desire, and physical consequence. Night after night, a Messenger returns to learn the house rituals: how to move stealthily, how to “stay,” how to be watched without taking up space. Above her, a painting of cherubs and an overly tall mirror act as witnesses, looking up can mean trouble, and trying to see clearly can injure the body. As the piece moves through training, exchange, breakage, and aftermath, it arrives at an unsettling inheritance: not that no one arrives, but that visibility itself is governed: who gets to be seen, and at what cost. CAST A: Tara P. Nyingjè (寜婕) and Michael Sarian CAST B: Hana Vo & Alan Lecheng Chao (晁乐成) TICKETS General Admission : $25.00 ($27.50 with fees) For any questions, please contact inshadowbloom@gmail.com
