Kid Simple, Oct. 9-13

The season will open with Jordan Harrison’s Kid Simple, directed by Patrick Bynane, PhD. The play follows Moll, who invents a machine that can hear the unheard, and the device attracts the eyes of the wicked. The play follows Moll’s quest to save sound - and the universe.

The Seagull, Nov. 20-24

The season's second production is Chekhov’s classic The Seagull, adapted and directed by associate professor Steven Young. This masterpiece of realism follows fading stage actress Arkadina and her family, and explores how easily the most ambitious dreams become the most self-destructive delusions..

Jane Austen's Emma, Feb. 19-23

Spring Awakening, Apr. 11-13, 17-19

The season closes with the rock musical Spring Awakening, written by Steven Sater, music by Duncan Sheik, and directed by associate professor Noah Lelek. Based on an 1891 play, the musical tells the story of adolescent sexual awakening in the face of a repressive society rife with hypocrisy.
