William Shakespeare’s Midsummers Night’s Dream. February 2 – 18, 2024.  

A Midsummer Night’s Dream explores the complexities of love, the power of imagination, and the interplay between reality and illusion, all wrapped in Shakespeare’s signature wit and poetic language.

Disney’s The Descendants, The Musical. May 3 – 19, 2024. 

Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films!

Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?
