KEN LUDWIG'S DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE
The story of two strangers introduced through letters, kept apart by war, and drawn together through shared stories of their lives, hopes, and fears. A comedic and touching look at life in 1942 complete with nods to music, theater, and literature.
THE CONTENTION (HENRY VI, PART II)
Considered to be the inspiration for Game of Thrones, Henry VI, Part II is commonly regarded as the strongest of the Henry VI trilogy, telling the story of the contention and power struggles between the two ancient families of Lancaster and York who wrestled for the fate of England.
AUGUST WILSON'S FENCES
A moving study of emotional depth and the human condition, August Wilson’s Fences follows the story of Troy Maxson - a working-class Black man struggling to provide for his family. His past includes the low of a prison sentence and the high of a promising career with the Negro Baseball League, but it's Troy's unrealized dream to play for the Major League Baseball that fills his days with resentment and regret.
