A modern twist to a classic tragedy of Orpheus, a man who goes on a rescue mission when his beloved Eurydice dies. As he ventures into the underworld to retrieve her, he charms the gods with his sweet music and is eventually granted permission to visit her and bring her back. Can he find and bring her back or will he lose her forever? This moving piece will compel audience members to explore their own beliefs about true love, life, and death.
By William Shakespeare
Foul play, power struggles, and love invade the life of a young prince trying to deal with the death of his father, the deception of his mother, and the deceit of his uncle. Standing the test of time, Hamlet ensures an evening of shock, entertainment, and excitement. Hamlet will constitute the first part of a two- part series, the second part being Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
By Tom Stoppard
Misadventures and musings ensue as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet, focus on their activities with the events of Hamlet as background. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is structured as the inverse of Hamlet; the title characters are the leads, not minor players, and Hamlet himself has only a small part. This play will constitute the second part of a two-part series that begins with Hamlet.
By Carson Kanin

By Arthur Miller
What is more important: Doing the “honorable” thing or providing for your family? This was the scenario Joe Keller faced early in life.

Having played female roles all his life, actor Edward Kynaston finds himself puzzled when the King forbids male actors in female roles on stage. This theatrical comedy, which was adapted into the movie Stage Beauty (starring Claire Danes and Billy Crudup), shows Edward transforming himself for the role he dreads most: being a man on stage and off. Watch as Edward stops being a stage beauty and starts being a leading man.
