Next Production
 | • FEB 4 - MAR 1, 2026 • The Lehman Trilogy / Play For Tickets & Info: The Lehman Trilogy is a theatrical play in the drama genre that spans about 160 years of history in one gripping evening. The story begins in the mid nineteenth century when three immigrant brothers from Bavaria arrive in America with little more than ambition. They start with a modest dry goods shop, but through persistence, sharp instincts, and a willingness to take risks, they expand their small operation into a major financial powerhouse. As generations pass, the play follows how the family adapts to shifting industries, cultural change, and the evolving shape of American capitalism. With only three actors portraying many characters across decades, the production blends an intimate style with epic scope. The result is a sweeping yet personal journey that shows how the rise of a family business becomes intertwined with the rise of a nation. The Lehman Trilogy is dramatic, thoughtful, and compelling, inviting the audience to consider the weight of ambition, the cost of success, and how quickly fortune can turn. | ||

Coming Soon
• OPENS APR 1, 2026• The Coast Starlight / Play The Coast Starlight is a stage play written by Keith Bunin that blends drama with thoughtful humor and a slice of road-style adventure. The story begins when a young man boards the long-distance train called the Coast Starlight, bound from Los Angeles to Seattle, harboring a secret that could land him in serious trouble. Along the roughly one thousand-mile trip he becomes entangled with a group of fellow passengers, each wrestling with their own past mis-steps and hopes for reinvention. As the train rolls through coastal California, Oregon and Washington, the characters gradually connect, share fragile truths and confront the possibility that the journey itself might force them to change course. It’s smart, funny, compassionate and quietly thrilling – the kind of story that asks what you’d do if you had one chance to leave everything behind and figure out who you really are. | |||
• OPENS JUN 3, 2026 • We Will Rock You / Musical We Will Rock You is a high energy jukebox musical that fuses the legendary rock songs of Queen with a bold, futuristic story of rebellion and self expression. Set roughly 300 years ahead on a planet once called Earth, now the sterile and corporately controlled iPlanet, the show introduces a society where conformity rules, instruments are banned, and everyone listens to the same computer generated music. Into this bland world step two young outsiders, the dreamer Galileo and the sharp tongued Scaramouche, who feel completely out of place in a culture built on sameness. They soon connect with the Bohemians, a scrappy resistance group determined to restore real music, real instruments, and the raw electricity of rock. As Globalsoft and its ruthless leader Killer Queen try to crush every hint of creativity, the search for freedom becomes a journey toward identity, courage, and the spark that lives in a single unforgettable melody. Packed with iconic anthems like We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Radio Ga Ga, this musical pulls you into a world where a stomp stomp clap rhythm might be the spark that changes everything. |
