'night Mother
March 3-6, 2022
"’night, Mother" tells the story of Thelma and Jessie, a mother and daughter in crisis.

The 39 Steps
March 10-13, 2022
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have "The 39 Steps", a fast-paced, farcical, whodunit spoof. This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award winner is packed with nonstop laughs and theatrical hijinks galore!
By Patrick Barlow and John Buchan, and directed by Jeffrey Coussens.
The Captive
April 7-10, 2022
When Irene refuses to leave Paris citing a dubious romantic attachment, her father’s worst suspicions don’t scratch the surface. In this modern adaptation of a play ahead of its time, a woman struggles against her passion; a love she cannot escape and yet dares not speak.
By Edouard Bourdet and directed by Keenan Ellis.
The Threepenny Opera
May 5-8, 2022
Set in the impoverished back alleys of Victorian London, The Threepenny Opera follows underworld antihero Mack the Knife as he tries to woo Polly Peachum and elude authorities. Created in 1928 Berlin to speak out against capitalist corruption, this musical bluntly addresses issues that remain relevant today. Through epic theatre, theatrical movement, and progressive music, Hauptmann, Weill, and Brecht’s work opens up difficult conversations about greed, oppression, and accountability within our society.
Book and Lyrics by Bertolt Brecht and Elisabeth Hauptmann, music by Kurt Weill, and directed by Shelley Cooper.
