KIMBERLY AKIMBO
By David Lindsay-Abaire
Directed by Dana Anderson
Set in suburban New Jersey, Kimberly Akimbo is a hilarious and heartrending play about a teenager with a rare condition causing her body to age faster than it should. When she and her family flee Secaucus under dubious circumstances, Kimberly is forced to reevaluate her life while contending with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a scam-artist aunt, her own mortality and, most terrifying of all, the possibility of first love.

PAL JOEY
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart
Book by John O’Hara
Directed by Laura Morgan
Musical Direction by Armando Fox
Choreography by Rachelle King
Anti-hero Joey Evans is a charming and manipulative Chicago nightclub singer with grand ambitions. He’s willing to use others to achieve those ambitions, including naive admirer Linda and wealthy seductress Vera. Far ahead of its time for its frank depiction of characters and social themes, Pal Joey will keep you guessing who is using whom. The memorable Rodgers & Hart score includes the standards “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” and “I Could Write a Book.”

DOUBT
By John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Shannon Nicholson
Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award. Set against the backdrop of a 1960s America in the midst of political and social change, a progressive young priest’s conduct comes under question by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the school principal whose beliefs are deeply rooted in tradition. As the actions and motivations of each are scrutinized and suspicion mounts, the two are drawn into a battle of wills that threatens irrevocable consequences for all involved.

THE NIGHT ALIVE
By Conor McPherson
Directed by Katina Psihos Letheule
Winner of the 2013–2014 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play. Tommy’s just getting by. He’s renting a run-down room in uncle’s house, rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc. He comes to the aid of Aimee, who’s not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how. Their pasts won’t let go easily, but together there’s a glimmer of hope they could make something more of their lives, something extraordinary, perhaps. With inimitable warmth, style, and craft, this play deftly mines the humanity found in the most unlikely of situations.

THE THANKSGIVING PLAY
By Larissa Fasthorse
Directed by Kimberly Ridgeway
From Larissa Fasthorse, the first known female Native American playwright on Broadway, this wickedly funny satire cleverly shows how good intentions and cultural assumptions collide when a troupe of misguided teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Thanksgiving Day and Native American Heritage Month.
