Chicago

By Fred Ebb, John Kander, and Bob Fosse

Directed by Gabe Smith

In the Roaring Twenties, Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband to take the rap...until he finds out he’s been duped. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and “Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”;: fame, fortune, and acquittal. This sharp-edged satire has dazzling music, big laughs, energetic dancing, and “all that jazz.”

Radium Girls

By D.W. Gregory

Directed by Sara Wade

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie a celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to get mysteriously sick. Inspired by the true story of a woman fighting for her day in court against her former boss, an idealist who can’t believe the same element that shrinks tumors has anything to do with the terrifying rash of illness among his employees, this is a wry, unflinching look at obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.

Dear Jack, Dear Louise

By Ken Ludwig

Directed by Pattye Archer and Paula Mabry

During WWII, a U.S. Army Captain, a doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday. But as the war continues, it threatens to end their relationship before it starts. Playwright Ken Ludwig tells the joyous, heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship and the results are anything but expected.

The Book of Will

By Lauren Gunderson

Directed by Regan Plunkett

Without Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like “Hamlet”. But without his friends, we’d have lost half of his plays forever! After the Bard’s death, two actors are determined to preserve the words that shaped their lives. They’ll just have to borrow, beg, and band together to get it done, amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London. This true story of love, loss and laughter sheds new light on a man you only think you know.
