The season opens with this Steinberg New Play and winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award. Set in 1905 New York City, the play follows African-American seamstress Esther as she navigates a world marked by stark social divisions and a dynamic influx of immigrants. Set amid a long-distance romance, Esther’s story explores themes of independence, connection, and the impact of racism and classism.

“Same time, next year” by Bernard Slade

Then enjoy one of the most beloved romantic comedies of the century, which won a Tony Award for leading lady Ellen Burstyn. This hilarious and touching play follows Doris and George, who meet annually for a tryst despite being married to others. Their affair unfolds over a period of twenty-five years and reflects changing manners and morals.

“Proof” by David Auburn

The new year brings this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning drama. After caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Catherine must now navigate her emotions, an estranged sister, and the attentions of her father’s former student, Hal. The play delves into themes of genius, madness, and the legacies we inherit.

“Little Shop of Horrors” by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman

February 28 – March 30, 2025

The season closes with this charming, tongue-in-cheek musical comedy. Follow Seymour Krelborn, a humble flower shop clerk who discovers a strange plant named “Audrey II.” Little does he know that this plant has a soulful R&B voice and a thirst for people.
