ACT is proud to present a world premiere comedy from one of America's funniest writers and the author of the hilarious All in the Timing. Who ever thought that being Polish was part of the human condition? Young Jasiu decides that he doesn't want to be Polish any more but he finds that he cannot escape his destiny. On his journey, he finds that while you can change your name, you can never change who you really are.

ACT is proud to present a moving, funny, and warmly human first play by a rapidly emerging playwright. Based on real-life experiences of Shephard-Massat's grandmother, Waiting to be Invited tells the story of four unlikely heroes who test the Supreme Court desegregation rulings by meeting at a "whites only" lunch counter in 1960s Atlanta. As these ordinary working-class women confront the seriousness of their momentous lunch, they find the courage to rise above their fears, and, in doing the extraordinary, discover that the most formidable barriers to freedom lie within their own hearts.
