Black Comedy

Black Comedy Flyer

By Peter Shaffer

October 16 – October 26, 2025 | Studio Theater | Directed by Laura Coté

A struggling sculptor’s big break spirals into chaos when a blown fuse plunges his apartment into total darkness—just as guests arrive. Audiences will delight in the frantic mix of mistaken identities, unexpected visitors, and nonstop laughter as the characters stumble through the dark, unaware that only the audience can see what’s really happening.

This timeless farce by award-winning playwright Peter Shaffer has entertained audiences for over 60 years with its fast-paced humor, quirky characters, and delightful mayhem.

“Black Comedy” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com


Our Town

By Thornton Wilder

November 13 – November 23, 2025 | Morgan Stock Stage | Directed by Todd Siff

Set in the small, fictional town of Grover’s Corner, Our Town explores the beauty of ordinary life as it follows next-door neighbors Emily Webb and George Gibb through first love, marriage, and loss. Guided by the Stage Manager’s gentle narration, audiences witness the profound meaning found in everyday moments.

Winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize, this beloved American classic continues to resonate across generations with its timeless reflections on life, love, and mortality.
