Pride & Prejudice

Mainstage Classic
February 12-14, 19-21, 2027

This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous and timely, this Pride and Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation.

Mainstage Musical

The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination, all to be revealed by Wonka's army of curious Oompa-Loompas. Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features an original score composed by Marc Shaiman with lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray) and also pays homage to the score from the 1971 film with songs from the motion picture including "The Candy Man," "I've Got a Golden Ticket," "Oompa Loompa Song," and "Pure Imagination."

The Jungle Book

July 9-11 & 16-18, 2027
Youth Production

One of literature’s most enduring classics comes to life on stage in this exciting adventure of Mowgli, befriended by Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear and threatened by the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. Along the way, he encounters a lively cast of jungle creatures in a story full of action, humor, and heart. Interwoven with Mowgli’s journey is the story of a young Rudyard Kipling, sent from his home in Bombay to a British boarding school where he faces his own “jungle” of challenges and characters who mirror those in his tales. Together, these stories highlight the timeless themes of friendship, loyalty, and the struggle between good and evil.
