"The Black Box is launching many firsts this season, including a three-play spring repertory season, which features plays by women and a world-premiere by local writer and actress Jessica Austgen," said Lynne Collins, Artistic Director of Plays. "We will continue to hire the area's finest actors to tell stories that will move, delight and surprise our audiences."
"Our three Main Stage musicals take a look at love and life and the many forms it takes," said Rod A. Lansberry, Producing Artist Director of Musical Theatre. "This season's musicals offer us with three different views of love. Love of family, love of life and tradition, and romantic love, even when there are complications."
