A John Waters Christmas
John Waters loves Christmas, and he wants you to know. The legendary cult-filmmaker takes to the stage with his traditional one-man monologue, extolling the virtues of everyone's favorite holiday, from offering advice on Christmas films and music to asking the important questions you've always wanted to be answered by the people's pervert, such as 'Is Santa erotic?'
The Diary Of Black Men
An experience that's more than simply theatre, meet the men you know and uncover the truths you don't with a movement that has electrified audiences for over four decades. The Diary of Black Men isn't just the longest-running African American stage play in history; it's a cultural phenomenon. Written by Thomas Meloncon and directed by Danny Hodges, The Diary of Black Men is a reflection of the conversations our communities have been having for generations about the raw realities of being a Black man in America. First penned in the late '70s and continuously updated to stay relevant, it's as timely now as its debut.
Life of Pi
After scooping a multitude of Olivier Awards for its debut run in London's West End, and three Tony Awards after its successful run on Broadway this stunning stage adaptation of Yann Martel's metaphysical novel heads out across the country! With the entire original creative team in tow, including breathtaking puppetry by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell. Don't miss this acclaimed new work!
Driving Miss Daisy
Written by Alfred Uhry, Driving Miss Daisy is a thoughtful rumination on race and humanity that won the author the Pulitzer Prize in 1988. Introduced to millions by the four-time Oscar-winning movie starring Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy, the play follows the relationship between elderly Jewish widow Daisy Werthan and her African-American chauffeur Hoke Colburn, and how it changes as the burgeoning Civil Rights movement gains ground.
