Main Stage: A Season of Classics
“No day, but today.”
Rent, the
immensely popular rock opera with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson,
tells the story of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling
to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side. Featuring many
memorable tunes, including “La vie Boheme” and “Seasons of Love,” Rent
burst onto the scene in the late ‘90s and quickly became a classic.

“I want to be a real boy.”
Carved from a piece of pine by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village, the puppet Pinocchio
dreams of becoming a real boy. Join us for this adventurous piece of
physical theatre complete with masks, clowning and child-like
imagination. Fun for the whole family!

“To be, or not to be?”
The play with one of the most famous questions ever asked by one of the most famous theatrical characters of all time, Hamlet
is a powerful and influential tragedy. Shakespeare vividly charts the
course of real and feigned madness—from overwhelming grief to seething
rage—and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral
corruption.

“Tell me why mama.”
Spring’s Awakening,
Frank Wedekind's groundbreaking 1890s play, is a daring exploration of
teenage sexual awakening set against a backdrop of religious and
parental repression. The audience can only pity the confused
adolescents squeezed in its vise: pretty buds bursting into doom.
