This Powerhouse Theater summer season at Vassar College features another superb lineup of imaginative and insightful plays, workshops and works-in-progress. For nearly 40 years, Powerhouse has been a launching pad for emerging artists and their groundbreaking works. In fact, the 2016 Tony Award winners for Best Play and Best Musical — Stephen Karam’s "The Humans" and Lin Manuel Miranda’s "Hamilton" — both trace their roots to Powerhouse. Perhaps one of this year's productions will be the next big smash!

"The Chamber"

• As 17th-century operations collide with contemporary Appalachia, “The Chamber” explores how resistance takes shape through cunning, risk, and subverting laws. This darkly funny, time-jumping play trades projections for physical performance, gesture, and sound to tell a story of quiet power, bold ingenuity, and the cost of doing what you’re not supposed to.

• Venue: Powerhouse Theater at Vassar College

• Performances: July 11, 8 p.m.; July 12, 8 p.m.; July 13, 2 p.m.
