A Regional Premiere. Retired piano teacher Mrs. K lives a quiet life in her small suburban town. She whiles away her time reminiscing about her late husband and the children she taught long ago.

Dot

by Colman Domingo / Directed by Mykai Eastman

November 11 - December 18 in the Bond-Trimble Theatre

A Regional Premiere. The holidays are always a wild family affair at the Shealy house. But this year, Dotty and her three grown children gather with more than exchanging presents on their minds. As Dotty struggles to hold on to her memory, her children must balance care for their mother and themselves. Raucously funny and deeply moving shines a light on aging parents, midlife crises, and the power of heart.

by Matthew Lopez / Directed by Bernie Cardell

April 7 - May 14, 2023 in the Nickelson Auditorium

A Regional Premiere. Winner of the 2020 Tony Award for Best Play, The Inheritance brilliantly transposes EM Forster's novel Howard's End to 21st Century New York.
