The Glass Menagerie at Hubbard Stage

The Glass Menagerie

As the writer himself is considered one of the greats of American drama so too is The Glass Menagerie thought of as one of his finest work. Telling the story of faded Southern Belle Amanda and her domineering personality over her children as she attempts to adapt to the poverty she now discovers herself in, it's a bittersweet memory play that crystalizes one bygone era whilst yearning for another through the lens of a fragile family.

Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery at Hubbard Stage

Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

There's a blood-thirsty hound loose on the foggy moors, and only Arthur Conan Doyle's world-famous detective and his sidekick Dr. Watson can stop it. Perhaps the most famous Holmes mystery of them all, The Hound of the Baskervilles has been adapted countless times for the stage and screen, but never quite like this.

Shakespeare In Love at Crighton Theatre

Shakespeare In Love

Shakespeare's work has been universally embraced as one of the highest forms of literary art and his sonnets and plays have even shaped the English language as we know it. It is delightfully wicked then that Shakespeare in Love opens with the bard in the throes of writer's block, struggling to finish his next great play Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter...

Private Lives at Hubbard Stage

Private Lives

Considered one of Noel Coward's finest works, Private Lives premiered on the London stage in 1930, with Laurence Olivier and Coward himself among the cast. This comedy of manners revolves around a divorced couple, who both remarry, and find themselves in the rather awkward position of occupying adjacent honeymoon suites in a hotel. They soon discover that their old romance is all too easily reignited, new spouses or no new spouses. Witty and fizzy in only the way that Coward can be, Private Lives is an elegant treat.

In The Heights

Before Hamilton took over the world there was In the Heights!
