adapted from Charles Dickens'
1843 classic
december 5 through 8
fall play
It’s utter mayhem backstage on Opening Night for an Off-Broadway production of the holiday classic A Christmas Carol! The child actors have food poisoning, the lead actor is nowhere to be found, and the flying rig broke. And to add to the confusion, the sets and costumes have been repossessed and the backstage crew is enlisted as understudies. When a notorious loan shark arrives to collect from the producer, and the FBI promises to shut the show down, the wackiness reaches a fever pitch.
But the show must go on! The classic redemption story of the miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his ghostly visitors is told like it has never been before with comedy, drama, and a whole lot of heart. Kick off your own Christmas season with this world-premiere farcical adaptation of Dickens’ much-loved story filled with laughter and the magic of theatre.

HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION

performances
May 1 through may 10
AnaÏs Mitchell's haunting, jazz-inflected folk opera follows Orpheus’ mythical quest to overcome Hades and regain the favor of his one true love, Eurydice.
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.*
