2023 Season
A Doll's House, Part 2
by Lucas Hnath
March 9 - 19
At the end of Ibsen’s classic “A Doll’s House,” Nora Helmer leaves her home, her husband and children, with a slamming of the door. Nominated for 8 Tony Awards in 2017, Hnath’s play picks up fifteen years later with a knock at the same door. It is Nora, and she has returned with an urgent request. What will her sudden return mean to those she left behind? You don’t need to know Ibsen’s play to enjoy this multiple award-winning sequel.
Directed by Bill Burford.
All performances will be followed by an optional "talk back" discussion.
Due to adult language and themes, this show is recommended for ages 13 and up.
Wonder of the World
by David Lindsay-Abaire
May 25 - June 4
It’s a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as our heroine, Cass, embarks on a journey of self discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter. A most assuredly hilarious comedy of marital discord run amok!
Due to adult language and themes, this show is recommended for ages 13 and up.
Big Fish
July 27 - August 6
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, “Big Fish” tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him — most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. However, their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart and humor, “Big Fish” is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre — for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.
