NEXT TO NORMAL
Rehearsals / Performances October 22 – November 24, 2024)
Next to Normal is a rock musical/ opera very much stylized through a concert meets Brechtian lens. Stripping away the literal world to find an exciting focus on the emotional and cerebral experience of what it is to be human. This requires a strength in vulnerability and reliance upon the ensemble to support each other’s story. Much of the story is told through song. We are looking for actors with incredibly expressive musicianship to be able to tap into the intricacies of these characters. The story IS the score. The music is working for you. So let it. The show lives in the world of rock, pop, folk which leans into the individual voice. We can’t wait to listen to who you are. We welcome performers of all races, gender identities, disabilities, and body types.
THE 39 STEPS
Rehearsals / Performances November 26 – December 22, 2024)
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This two-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance! In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!
THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA
Rehearsals / Performances December 30 – February 9, 2025)
Summer 1953: Margaret Johnson, an elegant and strong-willed Southern woman has taken her daughter Clara on a vacation in Italy. When a gust of wind blows Clara’s hat right into the hands of a young Italian gentleman, neither language nor age nor familial disapproval can stop their whirlwind love affair. As Clara and Fabrizio fall into each other’s arms, Margaret must grapple with the question of whether to disclose Clara’s devastating secret to Fabrizio’s warm, passionate Italian family. Unable to suppress the truth about her daughter, Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara’s future, but her own hopes as well. With soaring operatic melodies, The Light in the Piazza is a story about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and the deeply intertwined emotions of love and loss.
