The Book of Will / Genre

For Tickets & Info:

The Book of Will is a live play by Lauren Gunderson, a spirited historical drama with plenty of comedic warmth. It unfolds in the years after William Shakespeare’s death, when two of his closest actor friends, Henry Condell and John Heminges, realize that many of Shakespeare’s plays are scattered, corrupted, or already disappearing. With little money, no printing experience, and a growing sense of urgency, they gather allies to track down loose scripts, chase unreliable copies, and piece together an authentic collection that will become the First Folio. The journey pulls them through taverns, print shops, rivalries, and moments of doubt, yet it also highlights the fierce loyalty and deep affection found within their tight theatre community. Their mission becomes a heartfelt tribute to friendship, legacy, and the belief that great stories should never vanish. Filled with witty dialogue, gentle humor, and emotional depth, The Book of Will invites the audience into a world where determination and love for the craft guide a small group of players toward a goal far bigger than themselves.

Coming Soon

• OPENS MARCH 20, 2026 • Cabaret / Musical Cabaret is a stage musical drama that drops you into the pulse of Berlin in the late 1920s as the city leans into its wild nightlife while trying to ignore the world changing outside. The story centers on Cliff Bradshaw, a young American writer searching for inspiration, who finds himself pulled into the smoky energy of the Kit Kat Klub. There he meets Sally Bowles, an unpredictable English singer whose charm, ambition, and chaos quickly reshape his quiet plans. Their connection grows as they navigate the club’s seductive atmosphere, the sharp wit of the Emcee, and the complicated lives of the people around them. Performances inside the club feel electric and daring, while the mood outside slowly shifts in ways no one wants to acknowledge. The tension between escape and reality gives the story its magnetic pull. Cabaret blends music, humor, emotion, and a touch of danger in a way that makes the audience feel like they are seated right at a tiny cabaret table, watching a world dance on the edge of something it cannot see coming.
• OPENS MAY 8, 2026 • God of Carnage / Play God of Carnage, a sharp and fast moving stage play by Yasmina Reza, unfolds as a dark comedy that looks polished and polite on the surface but simmers with tension underneath. Two pairs of parents meet to discuss a playground incident involving their young sons, confident that mature conversation can smooth everything out. At first, everyone is gracious and measured, offering coffee, compliments, and carefully chosen words. Then the room begins to tighten. Small remarks land a little too hard, old frustrations bubble up, and the thin layer of civility starts to crack as each couple exposes the quirks, insecurities, and silent competitions they thought they had buried. The tone shifts from polite negotiation to something more chaotic, yet the humor never disappears. Instead, it grows sharper as the parents try to maintain control while their nerves fray. The play leans into the comedy of watching grown adults wrestle with pride, image, and the pressure to look like good people when emotions are anything but tidy. The story invites the audience into a living room that feels uncomfortably familiar, hinting at truths that people rarely say out loud, and leaves you wanting to see just how far the composure of perfectly ordinary adults can bend.
