| | Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler
Performances 10/04/24 – 10/27/24
An infamous tale - Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth-century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun! | Buy tickets |

Tarell Alvin McCraney
Performances 1/10/25 – 1/26/25
For fifty years, Charles R. Drew Prep School for
Boys has been a highly respected institution dedicated to helping its students grow into "strong, ethical black men." But what happens when Pharus does not fit the mold of a typical "Drew man?" Pharus is different from his peers, and his effeminate nature constantly sets him apart. Though he may be the leader and most talented member of Drew's renowned gospel choir, he struggles to gain their acceptance and respect. Choir Boy, written by the Academy Award-winning writer of Moonlight: Tarell Alvin McCraney, is a moving story of sexuality, race, hope, gospel music, and a young gay man finding his voice. | Buy tickets |

Caryl Churchill
Performances 2/28/25 – 3/16/25
Marlene has been promoted to managing director of a London employment agency and is celebrating. The symbolic luncheon is attended by women in legend or history who offer perspectives on maternity and ambition. In a time warp, these ladies are also her coworkers, clients, and relatives. Marlene, like her famous guests, has had to pay a price to ascend from proletarian roots to the executive suite: she has become, figuratively speaking, a male oppressor and even coaches female clients on adopting odious male traits. Marlene has also abandoned her illegitimate and dullwitted daughter. Her emotional and sexual life has become as barren as Lady Macbeth's. | Buy tickets |
