2024-2025 MAINSTAGE SEASON
At the wedding
By Bryna Turner
You are cordially invited to the best day of someone else's life… but what if it's also the worst day of yours? Join Carlo as she attempts to make it through the night without drinking too much, talking too much, or trying to win back the bride. Bryna Turner's bittersweet play, a laugh-out-loud comedy that nonetheless addresses some big issues, is for anyone who has ever attended a wedding... or had their heart broken. At the Wedding is being presented as a co-production with Out Front Theatre Company in Atlanta.

twelfth night
By William Shakespeare
Two twins, Viola and Sebastian, wash ashore in Illyria after a shipwreck, both thinking the other is dead. To ensure safe passage, Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario. She seeks employment with the Duke Orsino based on his noble reputation. Orsino is fixated on the Countess Olivia, who is rejecting all her suitors while in mourning for her dead brother. Orsino sends Cesario as messenger in his latest attempt to woo Olivia. Viola has already secretly fallen for Orsino, but in a troublesome twist, Olivia quickly falls for her as Cesario. To complicate matters further, Viola’s brother Sebastian is exploring the town looking just like her chosen disguise. Amidst the chaos of mistaken identities, unrequited loves, con jobs, and revenge pranks, will these twins be reunited, and will balance once again be restored in Illyria?

onegin
by Amiel Gladstone & Veda Hille
Based on the poem by Alexandre Pushkin and the Tchaikovsky opera, Onegin (pronounced ah-NYAY-gin) is a lush, passionate new musical. When a dashing but jaded aristocrat from St. Petersburg, inherits his uncle’s estate in the country, his arrival sets hearts afire and stirs the embers of jealousy. Even the reclusive young Tatyana falls hopelessly under the spell of the aloof Onegin and professes her love for him. What would you do for love?
