by María Irene Fornés
directed by David Melendez

It is 1938 Budapest, and the apocalypse may be just around the corner. Paul and Eve fall in love, marry, and gradually show symptoms of an illness that is spreading through their world. From a wholesome courtship to desperate attempts to hold on to each other, this love story is a tragic mediation on the mundane moments that slip through our memory and a call for us to learn to listen differently, in sickness and in health.

Delight in Dolly Parton’s high-energy score in this musical version of the hit film, 9 to 5. This story of office politics, set in the late 1970s, follows three working women as they concoct a plan to get even with their sexist and egotistical boss. Showcasing friendship, empowerment, and comedic revenge, this hilarious musical is as relevant as ever.

A Year With Frog and Toad
book & lyrics by Willie Reale; music by Robert Reale
based on the book by Arnold Lobel
directed by Amy Ressler

This whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special.
