The winter of our discontent. Widely considered to be one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, Richard III tells the story of Richard’s bloody rise to the throne and his short and troubled reign as king. He will stop at nothing and do anything to wrench power from the hands of others and keep it for himself. Politics, lust, murder…sound familiar? This is Richard III like you’ve never seen it before. Join us as we present an extraordinarily streamlined version of the script and explore the boundaries of desire and power in a post-modern world.

The winner of three Tony Awards in 2009 and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, becoming just the eighth musical in history to receive the honor, Next to Normal is one of the most stirring musicals of recent years. The Pulitzer Board called the show "a powerful rock musical that grapples with mental illness in a suburban family and expands the scope of subject matter for musicals.” Follow Diana, Dan, Natalie and Gabe as they navigate the unsteady waters of a family coming to terms with its past in an effort to understand how they can embrace their future.

Please be advised that Next to Normal contains adult language.

This classic rock opera from the 1960s tells the story of young boy named Tommy who, after witnessing a horrific event involving his mother and father, becomes catatonic, hiding from the world. After being mistreated by his family and friends, because no one knows what to do with him, he eventually discovers that he is a genius at the pinball machine. Tommy’s mother helps him break out of his catatonia and he becomes an overnight sensation…a rock star of sorts. Tommy eventually comes to realize that all he has ever wanted is to be like everyone else. A testament to the power of the human spirit, Tommy features a timeless rock score with songs like “Sensation,” “Acid Queen” and the iconic “Pinball Wizard.”

Die Fledermaus (The Bat), with music composed by Johann Strauss II and libretto by Richard Genée and Carl Haffner, has been a mainstay of the operatic repertory since its debut in 1874. It’s filled with intoxicating melodies, mistaken identity, comic irony and… revenge. Dr. Falke sets-up an elaborate ruse for his friend, Gabriel von Eisenstein, who had played a practical joke on him (while dressed as a “bat”) at a previous party they had attended. The day progresses from Eisenstein’s appearance in court, to mischief and revelry at Prince Orlofsky’s party and ends with everyone visiting Eisenstein at the local jail! Of course, there is nothing in this operetta that a few waltzes and a bit of champagne couldn’t cure!
