MACBETH

by William Shakespeare
Directed by Christopher V. Edwards
First Rehearsal: Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025
Opening: Thursday, October 2nd, 2025
Closing: Sunday, October 26th, 2025

SYNOPSIS: Set during the early days of the Cold War, this reimagining of Macbeth delves into ambition, mind control, and psychological manipulation. When enigmatic witches unveil a prophecy of power, Macbeth and his calculating wife spiral into a ruthless pursuit of dominance. As paranoia mounts and reality fractures, their descent into madness becomes a chilling exploration of how far the human mind can be pushed — and who is truly pulling the strings. This electrifying take on Shakespeare’s classic blurs the boundaries between free will and control, immersing audiences in a world where the edge of insanity is closer than it appears.

Content Advisory: This production will explore themes of extreme emotional, physical, and psychological trauma.

LITTLE WOMEN

Adapted from the novel by Louisa May Alcott by Kate Hamill
Directed by Shana Gozansky
First Rehearsal: Wednesday, January 7th, 2026
Opening: Thursday, February 5th, 2026
Closing: Sunday, March 1st, 2026

SYNOPSIS: Jo March isn’t your typical Victorian lady. She’s indecorous and headstrong, and one day she's going to be a great American novelist. As she and her sisters grow up in the middle of the Civil War, they strive to be brave, intelligent, and imaginative young women. But as adulthood approaches, each sister must negotiate her private ambitions with society’s expectations. In a war-torn world defined by gender, class, and personal tragedy, Jo March gives us her greatest story: That of the March sisters, four dreamers destined to be imperfect little women.

GEM OF THE OCEAN

by August Wilson
Directed by Monica White Ndounou
First Rehearsal: Wednesday, March 18th, 2026
Opening: Thursday, April 16th, 2026
Closing: Sunday, May 17th, 2026

SYNOPSIS: Set in 1904, August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean blends naturalism and mysticism to explore the experience of a Black community at the turn of the 20th century. When Citizen Barlow comes to her Pittsburgh’s Hill District home seeking asylum, matriarch and advisor Aunt Ester sets him off on a spiritual journey to visit the City of Bones, home of their ancestors. Gem of the Ocean is the ninth work in Wilson’s ten-play American Century Cycle, which has recorded the American Black experience and helped to define generations.
