INTIMATE APPAREL
By Lynn Nottage

September 13—October 6, 2024

In 1905, in New York, a stark social divide contrasts with a dynamic influx of immigrants. An African-American seamstress, Esther skillfully navigates this world, crafting fine, intimate apparel for clientele from elites to the marginalized. Romance blooms through letters from Panama-based George Armstrong as the story explores independence, connection, and the impacts of deception, racism, and classism.

The play offers poignant commentary on an era when the cut and color of one's dress - and, of course, skin -determined who one could and could not marry, sleep with, or even talk to in public. - Variety

Music by Alan Menken. Lyrics and Book by Howard Ashman

February 28—March 30, 2025

One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows, this charmingly tongue-in-cheek musical comedy has captivated theatergoers for over 30 years. It's a must-see with a delectable sci-fi storyline and an electrifying 1960s pop/rock score! Follow Seymour Krelborn, a meek floral shop assistant, who discovers a peculiar plant he names "Audrey II" after his crush. Little does he know, this unusual plant will develop a soulful R&B voice, a smart mouth, and an insatiable hunger for humans.

... remains the most reliably entertaining musical comedy off-Broadway. - TheaterMania
