DEAR EVAN HANSEN
Music & Lyrics by Benj Pasik and Justin Paul•Book by Steven Levenson
DIRECTED BY: Andy Planck
MUSIC DIRECTED BY: Jodi Cotton-Street
CHOREOGRAPHED BY: Jakob Michael
Dear Evan Hansen is a powerful, contemporary musical that tells the story of Evan, a socially anxious high school student who longs to be seen and understood. When a misunderstanding spirals into something far bigger than Evan ever intended, he finds himself caught between truth and connection, forcing him to confront who he really is and what it means to belong.
The musical explores themes of mental health, grief, family, and the impact of social media in an increasingly disconnected world. With soaring songs like “Waving Through a Window” and “You Will Be Found,” Dear Evan Hansen offers an honest, deeply moving look at the ways we search for connection and the courage it takes to step into the light.
Both intimate and unforgettable, Dear Evan Hansen reminds us that even in our most isolated moments, we are not alone.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Book & Lyrics by Howard Ashman•Music by Alan Menken
DIRECTED BY: Andy Planck
Little Shop of Horrors is a wildly entertaining musical comedy that blends sci-fi, horror, and doo-wop into one unforgettable show. Set on Skid Row, the story follows Seymour, a shy flower shop assistant who discovers a mysterious plant with an unusual appetite and an even bigger plan for world domination.
As the plant, Audrey II, grows, so do Seymour’s dreams of love, success, and escape from his bleak reality. But fame and fortune come at a cost, and Seymour soon learns that feeding his ambitions may mean losing his soul. Featuring an iconic score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, the musical includes fan-favorite songs like “Suddenly, Seymour,” “Skid Row,” and “Feed Me.”
Darkly funny, fast-paced, and delightfully offbeat, Little Shop of Horrors is a cult classic that asks how far we’re willing to go to get what we think we deserve, and whether the price is ever worth paying.

ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART ONE: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES
Written by: Tony Kushner
DIRECTED BY: Andy Planck
Angels in America: Part One — Millennium Approaches is Tony Kushner’s groundbreaking, Pulitzer Prize–winning epic that explores love, identity, power, and survival in America during the height of the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.
Set against a backdrop of political conservatism and social upheaval, the play follows interconnected lives grappling with illness, sexuality, faith, and responsibility. As reality blends with fantasy and history collides with the present, characters confront what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world - and whether progress is possible without sacrifice.
Both deeply personal and profoundly political, Millennium Approaches challenges audiences to reckon with fear, compassion, and the urgency of change. Bold, poetic, and unapologetically theatrical, it remains one of the most important works of American drama, asking us to consider how we care for one another when the world feels as though it is on the brink of transformation.

As they rehearse, the men confront their insecurities, relationships, and ideas of masculinity, discovering that real strength comes from vulnerability, trust, and showing up for one another.

As the choir’s popularity grows, so do the stakes, forcing Deloris to choose between safety and standing up for who she truly is. Featuring an uplifting, disco-infused score by Alan Menken, the musical includes show-stopping numbers like “Raise Your Voice,” “Take Me to Heaven,” and “Fabulous, Baby!”

2026 - 2027 CABARET SERIES
THIRTY CANDLES: A NARRATIVE CABARET
DIRECTED BY: Kelly Maloney & Grant Blauvelt
What happens when you turn thirty…and the universe starts flirting back? Thirty Candles is a playful, heartfelt cabaret inspired by the coming-of-age magic of John Hughes films and powered by the unforgettable music of the 1980s. On the morning of her 30th birthday, Samantha receives a mysterious love letter - unsigned, unexpected, and undeniably romantic. As she moves through her day, the question lingers: Who could it be? With every song, the fantasy grows bigger…and the reality gets a little more complicated.
Featuring iconic hits from Guns N’ Roses, Whitney Houston, Foreigner, Bonnie Tyler, Lionel Richie, and more, Thirty Candles blends humor, nostalgia, and sincerity into a story about aging, self-worth, and letting go of the romantic ideals we think we’re supposed to want. Because turning thirty isn’t about finding a secret admirer - it’s about finding yourself, embracing what’s real, and realizing that the best surprises often come when you stop looking for them.
Funny, flirty, and full of heart, Thirty Candles is a love letter to growing up, and blowing out the candles anyway.
