Come From Away
by Irene Sankoff & David Hein
Generously sponsored by
MSU Federal Credit Union
Desk Drawer Foundation
38 planes with 6,579 passengers are stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. The locals dropped everything to welcome these “foreigners” and strangers into their town, homes, and lives. Come From Away is an uplifting, joyful musical that celebrates the connections we have with humanity in the face of inhumane circumstances.
October 15-18 & 22-25, 2026
Thurs 7:00pm - Fri & Sat 8:00pm - Sun 2:00pm
A Main Stage performance directed by Jane Falion & Michele Booher-Purosky
Come From Away is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
Clybourne Park
by Bruce Norris
Generously sponsored by
Cinnaire
A razor‑sharp, darkly funny look at who gets to belong in a neighborhood. Clybourne Park traces one Chicago home across two eras; first in 1959, when white residents scramble to block a Black family from moving in, and then fifty years later, when the now Black community pushes back against encroaching gentrification. The same house, the same battles, and a biting examination of how much—and how little—has changed.
November 5-8 & 12-15, 2026
Thurs 7:00pm - Fri & Sat 8:00pm - Sun 2:00pm
A Black Box Performance directed by Alan Greenberg
Clybourne Park is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service www.ConcordTheatricals.com
