World Premiere Musical
Relive the romance! Based on the bestselling novel that inspired the iconic film, multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and Bekah Brunstetter, writer and producer for NBC’s This Is Us, create a deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love.
Searing Shakespeare set in Cuba
“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall” in Shakespeare’s fiery examination of political corruption and social injustice. Celebrated director Henry Godinez sets the play in the turbulence of 1959 Cuba during the pivotal moments before Fidel Castro seizes power.
Critically acclaimed hit from London
Emily Brontë’s novel is fantastically reimagined by groundbreaking theater-maker Emma Rice. The wild moors of Yorkshire are the setting for an epic story of love, revenge, and redemption—called “a wildly imaginative, exhilarating piece of theatre” by The Daily Mail.
Barbara Gaines’ final production as Artistic Director
Barbara Gaines revisits her signature interpretation of Shakespeare’s riotous comedy with new scenes penned by Second City’s Ron West. Backstage antics and hilarious complications abound as an eccentric group of actors gather on a 1940 London movie set to film the play for the troops.
