INTO THE WOODS
Oct. 18 – Nov. 17, 2024
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim | Book by James Lapine
Directed by Audra Mullen and Kerry Simons | Musical Direction by Stephen Deininger
This Tony Award-winning book and score take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, musical theater modern classic.
“What makes this Stephen Sondheim musical of colliding fairytales so irresistible is its doubleness: playful, quirky and fun, it is also a profound exploration of parental anxiety and loss.” - The Guardian
ROOM SERVICE
Jan. 10 – Feb. 2, 2025
By John Murray and Allen Boretz
Directed by Steve Goldklang
A nimble-witted producer, living on credit with several actors in a Broadway hotel, is desperately in need of an angel with $15,000. The laughs don’t stop coming in this great American farce that became an acclaimed Marx Brothers movie.
“ROOM SERVICE probably generates more laughs than any nonmusical in town.” - Variety
ART
Feb. 21 – Mar. 16, 2025
By Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Charlie Junkins
How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? Lines are drawn and friendships are tested in this Tony Award winner for Best Play.
“ART sails along, funny, engaging and devilishly efficient.” - The Washington Post
PIPELINE
Apr. 4 – 27, 2025
By Dominique Morisseau
Directed by Lorraine C. Brooks
With profound compassion and lyricism, Morisseau shines light on an urgent and necessary conversation in this deeply moving story of a mother’s fight to give her son a future — without turning her back on the community that made him who he is.
“PIPELINE is an emotionally harrowing, ethically ambiguous drama that raises barbed questions about class, race, parental duty, and the state of American education.” - Variety
PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE
May 30 – Jun. 22, 2025
By Steve Martin
Directed by Stephen Deininger
Martin plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune in this brilliant absurdist comedy that places young Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism.
“… a show that blends philosophy and comedy in a wonderful way…the strength of the script keeps the audience laughing. Anyone who loves the comedy of Steve Martin will enjoy PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE.” - BroadwayWorld
