Little Dipper

Written by | Maggie Stowell

Directed by | Mila Prusso

“Why would we believe you over the word of an honest man?”

 Little Dipper" is set in 1950s Rhode Island, where Betty navigates her new life in a small town. Initially met with resistance and skepticism by the tight-knit community of women, Betty perseveres and eventually earns their trust. As they unite to support one of their own in a moment of crisis, the play tenderly explores themes of female empowerment, community, and the challenges of overcoming sexism, revealing the transformative power of female solidarity and acceptance.

Queen's Head

  "Fighting tooth and nail to come out on top—choose the wrong allies, and it could be curtains!"

In the hidden depths of London 1920s, a sharp-tongued Cockney known as the ‘Enigma Rose’ leading a criminal enterprise of dangerous women and schemes comes face to face with the threat of Detective Thomas Reynolds—leading detective in all investigations related to gang activity. As tensions rise, secrets unravel. As loyalties shift, new friends are made; and survival means playing your cards just right.
