"Our Town"
By Thornton Wilder
Directed by: Kimberly LaCroix and Jill Rogoti
A landmark American drama, Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town tells the story of a small town in order to tell us the story of every town. "Oh, earth," Emily Webb exclaims towards the play's end, "you're too wonderful for anyone to realize you." With humor, wit and exceptionally powerful storytelling, Our Town offers a unique opportunity for audience members to make precisely that realization.
"Into The Woods"
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Directed by Norm Jones
Music Directed by Jess Modaff
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed musicals, Into the Woods provides a montage of fairy tale characters whose paths interwine as they chase their deepest hopes and dreams through an enchanted forest. When they find their happily ever after, they discover that "wishes come true, not free." Sondheim's words remind us to choose our paths thoughtfully and to remember that indeed, "no one is alone." Into the Woods is a musical that appeals to both the heart and the head.
