About Second Generation Theatre's 2020 - 21 Shea's Smith Season:

Constellations

October 16-November 1, 2020

Starring SGT Executive Director Kristin Bentley and Ben Michael Moran, this spellbinding romantic journey begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman. What happens next defies the boundaries of the world we think we know, delving into the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny. This will be Michael Wachowiak's directorial debut for SGT.

Songs for a New World

February 5-21, 2021

This contemporary song cycle directed by Amy Jakiel is the first musical from Tony award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown. Fueled by a small, yet powerful cast led by Michele Marie Roberts, Songs for a New World transports us throughout the last century with effortless ease and nothing but music to guide us. Full of stories that examine life, love, and the timelessness of self-discovery, this production is a joyful celebration of the stories we weave.

The Secret Garden

May 21-June 6, 2021

Directed by Doug Zschiegner, this vibrant musical follows the journey of Mary Lennox, a child orphaned in India and sent to live with her hermit uncle in England. In a house full of memories, The Secret Garden shows us how life and love can always prevail. Based on the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden is a perfect family show.
