A bold, electrifying musical about love, repression, and the turbulence of youth

In 1891 Germany, where adults hold power, young Wendla questions life's mysteries while her mother silences her curiosity. Meanwhile, the fearless Melchior defends his anxious friend Moritz, who is overwhelmed by puberty and school pressures. As Melchior and Wendla discover a powerful but forbidden desire, Moritz's despair leads to tragedy, with the rigid school system blaming Melchior for his friend’s fate. When Wendla’s unexpected pregnancy is revealed, the young lovers confront a world unwilling to support them. With raw emotion and a powerful score, Spring Awakening captures the highs and lows of rebellion.

A powerful reimagining of MLK’s final night, weaving history, humanity, and hope

After delivering his famous I've Been to the Mountaintop speech, an exhausted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. returns to his motel room, burdened by the weight of the civil rights movement. There, he encounters Camae, a mysterious hotel maid whose sharp wit and unexpected insights challenge his beliefs and legacy. As their conversation deepens, King is forced to confront his mortality and unfinished work. Blending realism with spiritual and surreal elements, The Mountaintop offers a human portrait of an iconic leader. A thought-provoking journey, this play redefines the man behind the movement.

Recommended for Ages 14+

DuWayne Andrews, Jr. as Martin Luther King, Jr.

Everything’s coming up roses
 
A crowning achievement in American musical theatre, Gypsy tells the story of Mama Rose, the ultimate stage mother, and her hopes and dreams for her daughters, June and Louise. As the lights of Vaudeville are dimming, Louise steps into the spotlight as Gypsy Rose Lee and rises to become one of the most famed burlesque performers of all time. Just like Mama Rose, Gypsy is brassy, bold, and sexy.
