Nov. 24, 2024, at 2 p.m.

Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors, Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, and written by Rick Elice, with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair... and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

By William Shakespeare; Directed by Lewis Magruder
April 30-May 3, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.
May 4, 2025, at 2 p.m.

Four young lovers escape to the woods to pursue their dreams of love far away from parental disapproval. What they encounter there is anything but the blissful freedom they seek, for the powerful fairy king is in a lovers' spat with his equally powerful fairy queen. To further complicate matters, a group of (very) amateur actors have chosen these same woods in which to rehearse a play. How one of them ends up with an ass's head is a plot device only Shakespeare could dream up in this, perhaps his most beloved comedy.
