Scapin
Now through 8/16
From the genius of commedia dell’arte comes a timeless romp reimagined for today’s audiences with fresh American fl air. Watch Molière’s crafty servant Scapin spin outrageous schemes and disguises in this dazzling modern adaptation. Revel in this masterful blend of classic French farce and contemporary slapstick, where young lovers battle miserly fathers through elaborate deceptions and ridiculous disguises. Physical comedy and razor-sharp wit collide in this carnival of theatrical surprises. You won’t want to miss this deliciously clever production that will leave audiences breathless with laughter.
Beside Myself
9/10-10/5
Step into the brilliantly inventive world premiere Beside Myself, where modern anxiety meets magical possibility, as a revolutionary medical procedure creates an unexpected double dose of identity crisis. This witty, surreal comedy sparkles as two versions of one woman wrestle for control with hilarious and profound results. From Paul Slade Smith, the clever mind behind The Angel Next Door, The Outsider, and Unnecessary Farce, comes a comedic exploration where finding your best life means learning to embrace both sides of yourself.
