| | Macbeth
Written by William Shakespeare
Arguably the darkest play Shakespeare ever wrote, Macbeth explores the inner struggle born of ambition and loyalty, duty and avarice, and even success and guilt. The Warrior and Thane Macbeth has just routed King Duncan’s enemies and is rewarded but, the Witches have promised him more. They have prophesized a crown for Macbeth and, when he is passed over for the Kings eldest son his mind turns to what could be and what should be.
Lady Macbeth, still mourning the loss of their only child, seizes upon the prophecy of the witches but understands that Macbeth himself may not see what she knows to be clear. Out of love or loss, her new-found purpose emboldens her to be the strength of will her husband may lack. Together they embark on their quest to rule regardless of cost.
Free will or predetermination, destiny or manipulation, what is it that points us to whatever end ultimately finds us? Why not ask the Witches?

| | Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
Written by Bert V. Royal
When CB's dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group's bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful.

| | A Chorus Line
Book by James Kirkwood Jr & Nicholas Dante
Music by Marvil Hamlisch
Lyrics by Edward Kleban
A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition. Exploring the inner lives and poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies, the show features one powerhouse number after another. Memorable musical numbers include “What I Did for Love,” “One,” “I Can Do That,” “At the Ballet,” “The Music and the Mirror,” and “I Hope I Get It.” A brilliantly complex fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama, A Chorus Line was instantly recognized as a classic. This will be re-imagined by our Production Team including Karla D. Robinson that brought you Assassins and Chess.
