'Next season will offer strong stories that are substantive pieces of theater that are both enlightening and entertaining,' said Clements.

We will also continue the tradition that I started upon my arrival by including a musical on our main stage - the first production in the Quadracci Powerhouse will be the award-winning musical, The Color Purple.
