A ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next tablet. And a dead man-with a lot of loose ends

A comedy about how we remember the dead – and how that memorialization changes us. It is the journey of a woman forced to confront her presumptions about isolation in a technologically obsessed society. The promise of the play is that everything we thought we knew, everything we thought was dead, can be uncovered, can be re-discovered, and brought to life again.

The story of how Peter became Pan.

Hailed as a grownup prequel to Peter Pan, this Tony Award®–winning, swashbuckling play with music explores the Neverland you never knew. Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old legend of Peter Pan with a wildly theatrical reboot of how a nameless orphan came to be The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. A dozen brilliant actors play more than 100 unforgettable characters, employing ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination.

Filled with music, mermaids, a celestial treasure, a spunky leading lady, a band of wacky pirates, an island crawling with intrigue, and one absurdly wicked Captain, Peter and the Starcatcher will make you fly. And did we mention pirates?

Peter and the Starcatcher is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. MTIShows.com

A bawdy, irreverent, and satirical musical.

From the zany comedic genius of Mel Brooks comes The Producers, the musical that redefined Broadway comedy! Join Max Bialystock, a washed-up Broadway producer, and Leo Bloom, his neurotic accountant, as they cook up the most outrageous get-rich-quick scheme in showbiz history: stage the worst musical ever, pocket the investors’ cash, and run. What could possibly go wrong? Everything—hilariously!

Adapted from Brooks’ 1967 film, this laugh-a-minute romp features larger-than-life characters, wickedly funny double entendres, and splashy show-stopping musical numbers. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, The Producers proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender,” skewering Broadway traditions with enough chutzpah to fill Times Square!

Content advisory: Mel Brooks…need we say more? But seriously, this production contains mature themes, suggestive humor, and adult language.
