Continuity by Bess Wohl - November 8, 2026
3S Artspace, Portsmouth, NH
2 pm
Bess Wohl’s startlingly funny new play examines what is worth saving and what isn’t—especially when we’re facing the end of the world.
A sheet of ice sits in the desert of New Mexico. A mad eco-terrorist plants a bomb in order to save humankind. A beleaguered film crew tries to get in one last shot before losing the light. In Continuity, storytelling and science collide with hilarious and devastating consequences. The play asks, “How do we keep going when hope can seem as fictional as a Hollywood ending?” and also, “What’s for lunch?”
Birds of North America by Anna Ouyang Moench - January 24, 2027
3S Artspace, Portsmouth, NH
2 pm
“This exquisitely subtle, luminous, elegiac father-and-daughter drama is not to be missed.” -Broadway World
John and his daughter Caitlyn are birders. As they scan the skies over their backyard in suburban Maryland looking for elusive birds, years go by. Relationships begin and end. Children grow up and parents age. The climate and the world change in small and vast ways. Birds of North America takes a close look at the relationship of a father and daughter over the course of a decade as they struggle to understand the parts of one another that defy understanding.
Tickets coming soon.

Expanding the Canon: a play reading circle
Check back for more information on the next Expanding the Canon play reading circle. A guest dramaturg will curated the list of five plays we’ll read and provide a rich dramaturgical packet for each as a resource. Participants read the play and materials on their own and gather once a month over Zoom for a lively and enriching conversation. Participation in this program is FREE.
theatre KAPOW launched Expanding the Canon: a play reading circle in January 2021 to expand our familiarity with the works of Black, Indigenous, and global majority playwrights. We simply must do the work to change “the canon.” Becoming familiar with these works is one small thing that we can do to move toward the equity we want to see in the world. Previous circles have focused on works by contemporary Black playwrights, Asian American playwrights, Native playwrights, playwrights highlighting the Disabled voice and Latiné playwrights.
