Music and lyric by Stephen Sondheim

Book by James Lapine

Directed by Rachel Dawson

What happens after 'Happily Ever After'? In Sondheim and Lapine's beloved retelling of Grimm's classics, a parade of familiar folktale figures find their way 'into the woods' and try to get home before dark- What begins as an irreverent fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.

*Cultural Event

By Sophocles

Adapted and directed by Brandon Dawson

A brutal civil war has ravaged the land, and the victorious Creon of Thebes forbids anyone from burying the traitor who started the conflict. When Antigone, discontent to let her brother go without proper funeral rites, takes matters into her own hands, she sparks a revolution that pits parent against child, sibling against sibling, and civil law against the gods. In this fresh and vibrant take on an ancient classic, family love and civil disobedience clash in titanic fashion.

04.10 | 10 a.m. & 7:30 p.m.

*Cultural Event

By Barbara Field

Student Directed by Noah Lake

Mary Shelly’s legendary masterpiece, Frankenstein, is not only a gothic tale of horror, but a cautionary tale about the dangers of excessive passion, unchecked science, and the estrangement of god and man. At once intellectually insightful and emotionally complex; Playing with Fire is a modern morality play that eloquently speaks to some of the most burning moral and ethical questions of our time!
