It's the 1980's: the neon is glaring and the Cold War is at its darkest. Two chess grandmasters clash on and off the board, testing the loyalty and love of the woman at the center of their lives. Composed by the men of supergroup ABBA and featuring '80s hits "One Night in Bangkok," "I Know Him So Well," and "Anthem," Chess in Concert is a modern classic that explodes into life backed by a 20-piece orchestra!

Book by Hugh Wheeler
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Suggested by a film by Ingmar Bergman
Directed by Brandon Jackson
A romantic farce par excellence. Based on the Ingmar Bergman film "Smiles of a Summer Night," couples meet, part, reunite during a glorious "Weekend in the Country" - all under the watchful eyes of the wry family matriarch and a harmonizing Greek chorus. The beautiful Sondheim score contains his biggest hit in "Send in the Clowns."

The Gateway Theatre
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Book by David Thompson
Directed by Brandon Jackson
From the great minds of Kander and Ebb, composers of Chicago and Cabaret, comes another powerful, challenging theatrical experience. Examining the infamous, true-life horror of the 1931 Alabama rape trial of nine innocent Black teenagers, the creators hold a mirror to modern society and to the world of entertainment by turning the tables and presenting the story through the lens of Minstrelsy. A visceral, unforgettable musical drama, as entertaining as it is damning, this is a show not to be missed.

Book by George Abbott and Richard Bissell
Music and Lyrics by Jerry Ross and Richard Adler
Based on the novel "7½ Cents" by Richard Bissell
Directed by Amy Marie Haven
One of the greatest scores of Broadway's Golden Age, The Pajama Game tells the timeless story of workplace romance, clashes between management and labor and the great middle-class struggle to do more than just get by. Add that to the early choreographic genius of Bob Fosse, and you're in for the evening of love, laughter, and some of musical theatre's greatest songs.
