A Dream Play

By August Strindberg
Adapted by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Angela Ledtke

In this modern “Everywoman” play a young woman sets out on a journey in the course of which she encounters life’s wonders, contradictions and absurdities.

Twelfth Night

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Chad Larabee

On an island where everyone’s in love with someone, but no one’s in love with the someone who loves them back, a castaway may be able to set everything right. Twelfth Night is a classic tale of gender-bending hijinks, mistaken identity, and the quest for true love.  “If music be the food of live, play on.”

March 31-April 10
