A darkly comic fable named the best play of the last 30 years by The New York Times, Topdog/Underdog digs deep into brotherly love, a sibling rivalry foretold by the names their father gave the brothers as a joke, and the long game of American History, as it asks: can we ever change the cards we’re dealt?

A Christmas Carol reminds us that it is never too late to have a change of heart.

SYNOPSIS: Hailed as “the villain of Broadway” by Playbill, Patrick Page has long been acclaimed for his portrayals of theatre’s most beloved bad guys, from Scar to Hades to the Green Goblin, as well as for his roles on The Gilded Age, Schmigadoon, and Étoile. Now, with this tour-de-force show, he turns his focus to Shakespeare’s greatest villains. Moving swiftly through the Shakespeare canon, watch as “one of America’s greatest classical actors” (The Wall Street Journal) transforms into more than a dozen of the playwright’s darkest characters in this electrifying exploration of evil itself.

SYNOPSIS: Fresh from winning the Tony Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Drama Desk Award, Purpose is “a thumping, riveting, guns-blazing, major new American play” (NY Daily News). For decades, the influential Jasper family of Chicago has been a pillar of Black American Politics: civil rights leaders, celebrity pastors, and congressmen. When the youngest son Nazareth returns home with an uninvited friend in tow, the family is forced to reckon with decades of secrets and unresolved tensions that threaten to topple their empire. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ vivid, funny, and riveting play is an epic family drama for our time.

But all the art has disappeared the day of her opening, and her intern Caro—an aspiring artist herself—is acting oddly. When Mariana’s glamorous movie-star mother arrives unexpectedly with an offer of help, things get even more complicado. Laughs in Spanish is a fast-paced comedy about art and success—and mothers and daughters.

Hailed by The New York Times as “blockbuster perfection,” one of the best-selling books of all time comes to the stage under the direction of Geva’s Artistic Director Elizabeth Williamson.
