CLYDE'S at MOXIE Theatre

Welcome to CLYDE’S, where the art of making a sandwich can lead to enlightenment.

THE CHILDREN

THE CHILDREN, a play by Lucy Kirkwood now playing at MOXIE Theatre through December 4th is a funny, and thought-provoking play brought to life through strong direction and excellent performances.

I AND YOU and Walt Whitman too

Review of I AND YOU at MOXIE Theatre, streaming through March 28th. It's not every day that a stranger introduces themselves by barging into your room while quoting poetry, but it is how Anthony introduces himself to Caroline in MOXIE's I AND YOU. Despite this meet-cute moment, he comes bearing homework; a last-minute homework project that they've been assigned on a Walt Whitman poem. The play written by Lauren Gunderson follows their conversation and friendship as both deepen over the course of the assignment as they contemplate life, love, longing, and loneliness...you know, typical teenage discussions.
