One of the greatest musicals of all time, West Side Story tells the tragic tale of star-crossed lovers on the west side of New York City, caught between two warring street gangs, the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. As they struggle to survive in a world filled with fear, hate and violence, Tony and Maria come to know the power of true love in the midst of ultimate tragedy. Featuring a score, lyrics and book from three of America’s most renowned theatre artists, West Side Story is musical theatre story telling at its best!

A gritty and powerful stage adaptation of both the book and 1995 film of the same name, Dead Man Walking is the real life journey of Sister Helen Prejean into the often dark and mysterious world of our country’s death penalty and its controversial inclusion in our criminal justice system. The play traces Sister Helen’s relationship with Matt Poncelet, a death row inmate, as he comes to grips with the horrendous crime he has committed and the fate that awaits him. By turns troubling, thought-provoking and ultimately, redemptive, Dead Man Walking is an experience in the theatre unlike any other.
