Direct from the American Repertory Theatre at Harvard University, 1776 – They knew they would make history, but not what history would make of them. Fed up with living under the tyranny of British rule, John Adams attempts to persuade his fellow members of the Continental Congress to vote in favor of American Independence and sign the Declaration.

The Chicago Tribune described Annie as “one of the best family musicals ever penned” – Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package.

Annie will be shown on February 21st and 22nd.

 

From Lincoln Center Theater and director Bartlett Sher comes “a sumptuous new production of the most perfect musical of all time” (Entertainment Weekly). My Fair Lady – tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed? Find out on May 1st and 2nd.

 

Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, a mesmerizing new production of the iconic musical phenomenon returns to the stage.
