Falsettos
Book by William Finn and James Lapine
Music and Lyrics by William Finn
Directed by Kevin Glaccum
Thursday, October 9, 2025, 7:00PM
Tony award-winning musical
Hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly unique, Falsettos is a contemporary musical set at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic about the power of chosen family, faith, identity, and love. When Marvin leaves his wife and son to be with his lover, their world is upended, but amidst the chaos, new bonds form and redefine what family can be. Falsettos is a tribute to the messy, beautiful, and necessary connections that hold us together—through baseball games, bar mitzvahs, and the unexpected twists of life.

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.
Dear Evan Hansen

Lyrics by Benj Pasek

A letter meant to stay private, a truth that was never supposed to come to light, a life he never imagined possible. Evan Hansen is on the verge of getting the one thing he’s always desired, a chance to truly belong. 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.
