Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).
One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?

THIS MUCH I KNOW
by Jonathan Spector (Tony Award Winning Author of Eureka Day)
INTERACT THEATRE COMPANY Oct. 30-Nov. 22, 2026
A psychology professor 's search for his missing wife launches us on a time-hopping fugue, weaving together the stories of Stalin's daughter defecting to America and the son of a white supremacist growing to doubt his beliefs. An explosively theatrical interrogation of how we make decisions, how we change our minds, and how much responsibility we bear for the things we do not control.

THE CONTRACT
by James Webb
INTERACT THEATRE COMPANY ‍ ‍Feb. 5-28, 2027
A married couple and co-pastors of a Black megachurch in Alabama have negotiated an arrangement to satisfy the husband’ s sexual desire for men: they have hired a graduate student for discreet monthly liaisons in an upscale New York City hotel. But when feelings intensify, the parameters of the contract are in danger of collapsing, along with the lies people have been telling themselves. An exploration of internalized homophobia in the Black church and what it means to be responsible to your flock.
