Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare is a classic comedy of mistaken identities, disguises and practical jokes. In the Middle Ages, the last night of the twelve days of Christmas - Twelfth Night - was a traditional occasion for foolery. This carnival atmosphere fuels the story until, in the end, all the pranks and merriment are happily resolved - as only Shakespeare can do!

Baby, a musical with a book by Sybille Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire, and lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr., concerns the reactions of three couples each newly expecting a child and having different but familiar reactions.

Resurrection Blues by Arthur Miller
Arthur Miller's penultimate play, Resurrection Blues, is a satirical allegory that poses the question: What would happen if Christ were to appear in the world today? In an unidentified Latin American country, a revolutionary leader is rumored to have performed miracles throughout the countryside. The heads of state plan to crucify the mysterious man and sell the exclusive TV rights to an American reality show. Resurrection Blues is a comedic and tragic satire of precarious morals in our media-saturated age.
Directed by Professor Deirdre Yates
