After delivering his iconic “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel. As a storm rages outside, an unexpected visit from a mysterious motel maid sparks a night of conversation. As the evening unfolds, King is gradually revealed in all his complexity: a man grappling with doubt, destiny, and the weight of what’s to come. This intimate reimagining of King’s final night is a powerful and poetic meditation on legacy and the man behind the movement that shaped a nation.

Two young lovers fall hard and fast, but their families are sworn enemies. This bold reimagining, directed by Barrymore Award-winner Amina Robinson (Once on This Island), draws on the traditions of early oral storytelling and old-school theater magic to breathe new life into Shakespeare’s most iconic tragedy. A story of violence and beauty, Romeo and Juliet reminds us of the risks we take for love and the cost of a world unwilling to change.

A letter meant to stay private, a truth that was never supposed to come to light, a life he never imagined possible.

Winner of six Tony Awards, Dear Evan Hansen is a deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical for anyone who’s ever felt alone in a crowded room.
