There he turns a class of straight–A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.

She meets the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting the U.S. government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane’s wreckage.

Ripcord
by David Lindsay-Abaire January 17-February 2, 2025 Studio Theater A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a hilarious and dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden. A hilarious battle of wills for 15+ |

Cabaret
Book by Joe Masteroff Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb March 14-23, 2025 Historic Theater Set in the seedy Kit Kat Club, this musical favorite explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous world of 1920's Berlin as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cabaret features memorable songs and follows eccentric characters such as the garish Emcee, the charismatic singer Sally Bowles, the disillusioned landlady Fraulein Schneider and the mild-mannered fruit seller she loves, as they navigate a world on the brink of change. A decadent & timely musical for adults |

Everybody
by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins May 2-18, 2025 Studio Theater Follow Everybody as they journey through life’s greatest mystery—the meaning of living. Who will complete the journey with Everybody - all the way from life to after-life? This modern riff on the fifteenth-century morality play Everyman humorously and poignantly answers the question: What can we hold onto as we face our ultimate fear and what does it mean to live as a flawed and vulnerable human being? Each night is a new performance as the cast chooses their roles by lottery at the top of every show. A modern parable for adults |
