KING LEAR
Featuring Christopher Lloyd. One of Shakespeare's most moving tragedies. The once powerful King Lear chooses to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, and must reckon with his own humanity in the process.
MEASURE FOR MEASURE
A workshop production. When Angelo is abruptly appointed to rule over a chaotic and debauched city, he restores order with repressive laws and an iron fist over licentiousness. The object of his own twisted desire is a young nun, whom he puts in an unthinkable position. Justice can never come soon enough.
BECOMING OTHELLO: A BLACK GIRL'S JOURNEY
An autobiographical solo show written and performed by Debra Ann Byrd. Directed by Tina Packer, the show is a multimedia theatrical production with lyrical language, soulful songs and the music that shaped the life of a resilient little girl growing up in Spanish Harlem.
