Godspell

March 21 - 24, 2024

 

Directed by Lee Dukes

 

"A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life. Boasting a score with chart topping songs, a book by a visionary playwright (John-Michael Tebelak) and a feature film, Godspell is a sensation that continues to touch audiences."

August Wilson's Jitney

January 27 - February 5, 2023 (*New Dates)

 

Directed by Will Williams

 

“Set in 1970 in the Hill District of Pittsburgh that is served by a makeshift taxi company,

Jitney is a beautiful addition to August Wilson’s decade-by-decade cycle of plays about the Black American experience in the 20th century.”

 

“Jitney is the eighth play in August Wilson’s Pittsburgh Cycle. It takes place in The Hill District of Pittsburgh in 1977, in a gypsy cab station, during Pittsburgh’s period of so-called “urban renewal.” As the city tries to shut down businesses - including the cab station - to make way for a new building, we meet five gypsy cab drivers struggling to survive.”

  

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

March 3 - 19, 2023

 

Directed by Brandon Bui

 

“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity. Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together, only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!  Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score by David Yazbek.”

 book by Jeffrey Lane, music and lyrics by David Yazbek
