Noises Off!
Friday, February 23 at 10 AM
Cost: $6
In this rip-roaring classic, the audience is treated to a hilarious behind-the-scenes peek at an acting troupe rehearsing and performing the farce Nothing On. Despite nerves, dropped lines and technical difficulties, they make it through rehearsal and open the show. As time goes by, things deteriorate until pandemonium ensues and axe-wielding co-stars, drunken cast members and misplaced sardines take center stage during a disaster of a performance that threatens to jinx the old saying, “The show must go on.” This play within a play was meta before meta was meta. Details
Romeo and Juliet
Friday, April 5 at 10 AM
Cost: $6
From historic feud to ill-fated union, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet finds new significance in Winthrop’ s intimate Studio Theatre. Verona is sick. Its structures broken and its citizens in a state of desperation. When a system favors the few, the many are left with nothing but unhealthy choices. Amidst the violence, bloodshed, fear and unrest, two teenagers find unexpected relief in each other. But will love be enough to save them from society’s sickness? Details

What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels. Trailer
