A Wrinkle in Time
October 26 - November 12, 2023
The S&S brings this Newbery Award-winning tale from the beloved children’s book to life. One of literature's most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, joins forces with three mysterious witches and her extraordinary brother to battle the forces of evil — and rescue her father, save humanity, and find herself. L’Engle has described her novel as her “psalm of praise to life, [a] stand for life against death.”
Recommended for ages 7+.
Runtime: Approximately 120 minutes.
By Madeleine L’Engle, adapted for the stage by James Sie

The Book of Will
February 29 - March 17, 2024
After the death of their friend and mentor, William Shakespeare, two of his friends and fellow actors are determined to compile his plays into a folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives.

Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, this hilarious, heartbreaking and award-winning play by the playwright of Ada and the Engine finds an unforgettable true story of love, loss, and laughter.
Recommended for ages 12+.
Runtime: Approximately 120 minutes.
