The Last Wife, by Kate Hennig

September 8 to October 1, 2023
Kate Parr is smart, confident and passionate: a rising star in a world of intense competition, but her enforced marriage to Henry is rife with the threat of violence and the lure of deceit. A modern retelling of the compelling relationship between Katherine Parr and Henry VIII, The Last Wife is a funny, powerful examination of patriarchy, sexual politics and women’s rights.

It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the season!

Gertrude and Alice, by Anna Chatterton, Evalyn Parry & Karin Randoja

The Trip to Bountiful, by Horton Foote

March 22 to April 14, 2024

When We Were Singing, by Dorothy Dittrich – in association with Touchstone Theatre

A saga of friends and lovers, career crisis and personal angst. It is a story that switches gears in an instant to get at the heart of what makes people tick. When We Were Singing is an investigation of the friendship between four urban-dwelling lost souls. Work, loves, hopes, dreams, fears, failures–the story is pulled from the same source as our own lives. A musical like few others!
