YEAR OF THE ROOSTER at the Ensemble Studio Theater isn't merely entertaining. It's astonishingly entertaining.

New England Premiere
YEAR OF THE ROOSTER
by Olivia Dufault
directed by Sally Wood
with Kip Davis, Allie Freed, Christopher Holt,
Erik Moody and Amy Roche
Gil is a loser. He works at McDonald's, lives with his ailing mother, and hasn't had a girlfriend since...ever. But that's all about to change. He's been secretly training (and drugging) a rooster to fight. And Odysseus Rex aka "Odie" is the baddest barnyard bird there is. Gil has so much faith in Odie's abilities that he bets everything on him -- but victory and revenge may not yield the delicious spoils he anticipates. A fiercely comic play about cockfighting, connections, and clawing your way to the top.

World Premiere
FALSE FLAG
by Walt McGough
directed by Cait Robinson
with Sarabeth Connelly, Corey M. Gagne,
Bess Welden and Marjolaine Whittlesey
Tori’s brother Hank likes guns. He also likes: talk radio, survivalism, investigative deep-web forums, and telling Tori about all of it when they see each other once a year. But when Hank is killed in an apparently random shooting, Tori gets a visit from his ex-girlfriend June and can’t help asking some questions. Didn’t Hank say that there was no such thing as coincidence? Didn’t he say he knew too much? Was his death just a matter of chance, or was it part of a bigger agenda, and which possibility is worse?
