One of the most popular, yet dark, American musicals. In a 1920’s Berlin nightclub, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience. With his bawdy songs as commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich.

This comedy has been a staple of the Chicago theatre scene for years. Often described as the funniest and most entertaining children’s play written, the story centers on Binky, his friend Viv, and a sheep named Bob as they confront the Giant Space Pandas. The humor appeals to audiences of all ages. Bring the family and join us for this wild comedy.
The House of Blue Leaves
By John Guare
Directed by Linden Little
April 25-28, 2019
A no-talent songwriter, his depressed wife, and a visit from the Pope lie at the center of this absurdist farce set in the mid-1960’s. The play reflects a gracefully skewed vision of lives obsessed with celebrity. A painfully funny anarchic comedy of the time that rings true today.
