Macbeth

By William Shakespeare
Adapted by Kyle Schnack

 

About

The Bard’s darkest cautionary tale warns us of the danger of greed-soaked ambition. Determined to fulfill a prophecy of greatness, Macbeth and his cunning wife embark on their quest to rule whatever the cost. "Macbeth" reflects the greatest tragedy of all -- the Fall of Man; but Shakespeare leaves us with a ray of hope with the coronation of a new virtuous king.
 
*Recommended for ages 14 and up; Drama

Sunday In The Park With George

Book by James Lapine
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

 

About

One of the most acclaimed musicals of our time, “A Sunday in the Park with George” is inspired by Georges Seurat’s pointillist masterpiece “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.” This insightful and moving musical merges past and present as two artists strive to realize their artistic vision without losing the people they love. The challenging story of life and art reaffirms our need to connect past, present, and future.
 
*Recommended for ages 12 and up; Musical
