Three a.m. in the month of May, two strangers meet in the Keno Lounge of the Circus Circus, Reno, Nevada. Over the course of the night, their lives become desperately entangled as they gamble with their future in a battle for self-worth.

Use Both Hands, by founding member John Rosenberg, was the centerpiece of our first season, best representing the Sleepwalkers aesthetic and process. Developed by the author and Artistic Director, Ingersoll-Thorp, for over two years, this drama’s emotional realism, tight-knit structure and insightful wit is our litmus test for good writing.

"Arthur Miller explained
everyone has agony. The
difference is that he took
his agony home and taught
it to sing. The beauty and
challenge I find in
playwrighting is learning
not to be tone-deaf."”
    --John Rosenberg
