A Tony Award-Winning Musical for the Whole Family
Book & Lyrics by Marsha Norman / Music by Lucy Simon Based on the Novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett Directed by Victoria Bussert Choreographed by Gregory Daniels
An enchanting adaptation of a classic children’s novel, this acclaimed musical will inspire “the child” within audience members of all ages. After being orphaned in India, 10 yearold Mary is returned to England to live with her melancholy uncle at his neglected estate. Haunted by the ghosts of her past and the secrets of her uncle, she innocently unlocks the forgotten gate to an untended garden on the estate grounds. From its soil, fertile with memory and “magic,” springs hope and healing for them both.

Shakespeare's Towering Tragedy
By William Shakespeare Directed by Joseph Hanreddy
A classic tale of love, loss and legacy, King Lear’s royal epic reigns supreme. When an aging monarch resolves to retire and divide his kingdom among three daughters, his sense of reason is suddenly shattered by the surprising emotional storm that ensues. Stoked by fierce winds of treachery, the tragic tempest plunges both king and kingdom into chaos. As his life hangs in the balance, a once proud monarch is forced to wrestle with morality as he confronts his own mortality.
"...breathtakingly smart...go see it for yourself." – The Plain Dealer

Along the way, love is found, lost and rediscovered again after a poignant realization that "without a hurt, the heart is hollow.�
