"The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king." Denmark's tormented prince inches his way towards his fearsome destiny in Shakespeare's grand poetic tragedy, whose surpassing intensity still fascinates scholars, challenges actors, and entrances audiences after more than 400 years. Revenge, love, madness, mystery, adventure, betrayal, and honor all collide in this masterpiece of passion and grandeur, and the unparalleled beauty of its language is punctuated with explosive action. The timeless story of an anguished son avenging his royal father's murder is now known in virtually every corner of the world, and Hamlet remains as full of life and meaning today as it was when it firt thirlled theatre-goers at The Globe. |

"It takes strong men and women to love ..." A roadiside diner just west of Kansas City provides shelter in the middle of a raging blizzard for an assortment of neighbors and strangers trapped there - some temporarily, some permanently. Tough and touching, rowdy and romantic, this mid-20th century classic harkens back to a style of theater that was typified by sharply defined characters - a bold Montana cowboy, a self-loathing alcoholic, a sweet teenaged waitress, a fledgling chanteuse, and others - trying to find their way. Within the humor and pathos of their situations as captured in a single weather-beaten night, we catch glimpses of their loves and their loneliness, and we are moved by the unexpected forms that innocence, tenderness, and wisdom can take. | |

"There's gotta be something that makes you feel good, or at least makes sense, in this world, or what's the point? Right?" A cold winter's night in an imaginary town in the northernmost stretch of New England is the setting for Almost, Maine - a sweet and clever take on all things heartfelt. Author John Cariani plays with words, bends reality, and transforms the mundane into magic in these nine whimsical vignettes, laying bare both the fragility and the sturdiness of the human heart. Each sketch presents a couple at a critical moment in their relationship; and as the residents of this remote locale come to understand more about their own individual lives, their intersecting stories collectively illuminate the many aspects and very nature of love. With its touches of gentle humor and surprising romance, Almost, Maine is certain to charm even tthe most world-weary amont us, and to warm even the coldest of hearts. Read about the show on the Almost, Maine web-site. |

"Always the same. People come. People go ... but time is running out." Dreamers and schemers of all stripes are drawn to the opulent, bustling Grand Hotel, Berlin, 1928. The Baron stays here for the luxury (though he has no money to pay for it); the prima ballerina comes here to be pampered between performances (though no one attends them anymore); the managing director is here to meet his shareholders (though there is no good news to be shared); and one ailing bookkeeper chooses to spend his last resources here (though he has no idea what that will mean in the end). These and other denizens of the hotel swirl in and out of each other's lives over the course of twenty-four hours. At various times lush, jazzy, and romantic, Grand Hotel captures both the splendor of the Old World and the excitement of a new age.
