Liberation

It’s 1970. Somewhere in Ohio, six women meet on a basketball court to form a consciousness-raising women's liberation group, determined to shake up their lives and change the world. Fifty years later, one of their daughters tries to understand where things fell apart.

A provocative, wildly theatrical play that poses vital questions about friendship, legacy and the true meaning of liberation, investigating what we inherit, what we forget, and what we’re still fighting to understand.

Here There Are Blueberries

SPECIAL LIMITED ENGAGEMENT STAGED READING

An album of never-before-seen World War II-era photographs arrives at the desk of United States Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist Rebecca Erbelding. As Rebecca and her team of historians begin to unravel the shocking mystery behind the images, the album soon makes headlines around the world.

Purpose

For decades, the Jasper family has stood as a pillar of Black American politics—civil rights leaders, pastors, congressmen. But when the youngest son returns home to Chicago with an uninvited guest in tow, old loyalties crack under the weight of long-buried secrets and unresolved resentments. As the family gathers under one roof, they're forced into a reckoning with faith, legacy, and the price of believing in something larger than yourself.
Purpose is a sharp, funny, and devastating portrait of a family determined to protect its public image even as the truth pushes to the surface. It's an epic story about what we inherit from our parents, what we owe to history, and what happens when the mask finally slips.

The Reservoir

The Reservoir is a sharply funny, deeply moving new play by Jake Brasch about family, memory, and the messy work of healing. Fresh out of rehab and back home in Denver, Josh finds himself leaning on the last people he expected—his four aging grandparents, each navigating their own relationship to memory and dementia. What follows is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, as Jazzercise classes, unsolicited advice, and long-buried family history collide. Semi-autobiographical and full of heart, The Reservoir asks what we inherit from the people who raised us, and how we find our way back to ourselves through them.

Coal Country

Coal Country, by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, tells the true story of the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine disaster, the deadliest American mining accident in nearly 50 years, which killed 29 men in Montcoal, West Virginia. Drawn from over 40 hours of interviews with survivors and the families left behind, this play with music brings their voices directly to the stage, woven together with original songs by Steve Earle that serve as a haunting, elegiac heartbeat throughout the piece. At its core, Coal Country is a story about what happens when corporate greed overrides worker safety, and why solidarity among working people matters now more than ever. Marking Three Bone Theatre's first musical, it's a raw, deeply human tribute to the miners' lives and a call to honor the dignity and rights of working people.
