*Additional details coming soon.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 7, 2024: “Sweat” by Lynn Nottage, Directed by Chanel Bragg
Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize, “Sweat” takes audiences to the industrial town of Reading, Pennsylvania, where a tight-knit group of friends navigate life on the factory floor and bond over drinks, secrets and laughter. But as layoffs and picket lines strain their trust, they become adversaries in a fierce struggle for survival. This powerful play offers a raw and insightful look into the fractured heart of working-class America.

Feb. 14 – March 1, 2025: “Fetal” by Trista Baldwin, Directed by E. E. Moe
“Fetal” is an electrifying new play inspired by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This powerful drama puts a personal face — four, in fact — on an issue that has been highly politicized. It follows the harrowing journey of four fictional women in a Texas clinic, representing countless real women whose choices have recently been stripped away. Raw and urgent, Fetal is a timely portrayal of the fight for reproductive rights.

May 3 – 18, 2025: “Little Shop of Horrors” | Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman, Music by Alan Menkin, Directed by Ron May
