A hopeful story of courage

In a small town in upstate New York, 38-year-old Kenneth has everything he needs: a bookstore job he loves, his best friend Bert, daily mai tais at Wally’s and a simple, steady routine — that is, until he finds himself unemployed. With Bert’s encouragement, Kenneth applies to be a teller at Primary Trust Bank, and he gets the job. Thriving at work, he slowly begins to open his heart to new people and possibilities. But when newfound rhythms threaten his friendship with Bert, Kenneth must face his past before he can fully embrace his future. This Pulitzer Prize-winning new play reveals our universal need for human connection and each other.

    The Great Gatsby

    Please note: This performance is currently waitlist only. In this famous Jazz Age story, Nick Carraway, a young man from Minnesota, moves to New York in the summer of 1922.

This faithful adaptation of the novel uses theatricality to capture the lyric and poetic nature of Fitzgerald’s prose.…

    Indecent

    Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. A play about a play—and the artists who risked everything to tell it. Inspired by the true story of Sholem Asch’s seminal Yiddish work, God of Vengeance, and its infamous 1923 obscenity trial, INDECENT is a haunting, klezmer-infused play with music that traces the turbulent journey of a troupe determined to stage a work deemed “indecent.” As their story unfolds across continents and decades, so too does a powerful meditation on censorship, nationalism…
