Henry IV, Part One
10–18 July
Rebellion simmers under a fractured kingdom. King Henry fights to hold his crown while his son, Prince Hal, runs wild in the taverns of Eastcheap. But when war calls, a wayward prince must choose: Will he rise to lead, or fade into the noise of a drunkard’s legend? Expect blistering battles, barrel-bottom wit, and the greatest rogue ever written—Sir John Falstaff. Directed by Evan Crump.
The Importance of Being Earnest
24 July – 13 August
Witty repartee, brazen lies and polished hypocrisy collide in Victorian England as four lovers battle against a society driven by status, wealth and (most of all) style. A razor-sharp rom-com directed by Christine Mosere and Kayla Swain.
Much Ado About Nothing
21–29 August
In sun-scorched Messina (which runs on wit, gossip and the perfect put-down), two merry warriors swear off love forever just as everyone commits to making them fall. But a jealous troublemaker begins a real battle with a vicious lie. Can tongues sharpened to wound be turned to healing? A story of sparkling tension, terrible decisions and a wedding that nearly isn’t. Directed by Aaron Angello.
