Figaro runs April 25 through June 8. This show marries Mozart and Theatre de la Jeune Lune, the Tony Award-winning artists who brought you The Miser in 2006. No Child… runs May 11 through June 1. It's the stunning solo show about America's public schools from Obie Award-winner Nilaja Sun.

Inspired by Mozart and Beaumarchais, Figaro is adapted by Steven Epp and Dominique Serrand, who also perform the lead roles alongside exceptional actors, superb singers, and a live string quartet.
