(Re)Dressing Miss Havisham
By John Minigan
A New Play Incubator at BPT project
Miranda, an actor with a background in criminology, opens up the “cold case” death of Miss Havisham in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations in order to solve the mystery, interrogate Dickens’ view of women, and discover for herself – an intentionally unmarried and unpartnered forty-something – whether it’s possible to not just avoid death but find true happiness alone. On a journey aided by forensics, research, personal experience, and even a “murder board,” Miranda moves into and out of character as Dickens' "spinster" until a crisis in the case brings unexpected closure.

Morphology
By Jillian Blevins
A New Play Incubator at BPT project
Early 00’s. Nico, a nonverbal Autistic teenager, longs to be understood by his mother Claudia, a former academic who longs most for him to speak. When Claudia’s own mother Arlene intervenes and tries to convince Claudia to place Nico in a group home, their attempts to reach each other grow more desperate, Nico reaches out to one creature he thinks might understand him, and their carefully balanced world starts coming undone. Written in a mix of verse and prose, Morphology explores the power and inadequacy of language, what it means to know one another, and what we can learn from deep sea biology.
 
Director: Peter Sampieri
Producer: 52 Hertz
Performance Dates: July 23–July 26, 2026

M: Refractions From An Evil Act
By James Wilkinson
A New Play Incubator at BPT project
Exiled Theatre is proud to present a world premiere play by local playwright, James Wilkinson. A late-night return. A hotel room that feels… wrong. Traveling abroad, a woman’s unease after a night out deepens into something far more insidious. The staff watches too closely. A man appears, disappears, and reappears. Time loops, memory fractures, and the past begins to repeat itself. As identities blur and reality destabilizes, she must escape the hotel before she’s trapped by its history.

Director: Joe Juknievich
Producers: Morganna Becker and Laura Crook Waxdal
Performance Dates: July 31–August 9, 2026
