Nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this inspiring true story proves that everyday acts of kindness are heroic in themselves. On the morning of September 11, 2001, 7,000 travelers suddenly find their flights rerouted to Gander, Newfoundland, doubling the tiny town’s population overnight. A moment of fear and uncertainty soon becomes an extraordinary story of generosity, hospitality, and human connection.

Timeless Love, Eternal Risk. Set in timeless Verona, two star-crossed souls defy the forces that seek to keep them apart.

Who Belongs on the Mountain? An unlikely group takes on a “Tanzanian-only” ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro in this sharp satire. The dramedy follows a Tanzanian-American tourist, two missionaries, and their guide as they make their way toward the “Roof of Africa.” They must confront questions of access, identity, and who deserves a place on the mountain.

The end of a marriage is never just between two people. Beneath the veneer of successful careers, elegant dinners, and decades-long friendships lies a more complicated truth. In Donald Margulies’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Dinner with Friends, a shocking divorce sends ripples through the lives of two couples who thought they knew one another and themselves. What follows is a razor-sharp, darkly funny examination of love, loyalty, desire, and the stories we tell to sustain our closest relationships.

Sophisticated, provocative, and emotionally devastating, Dinner with Friends peels back the layers of modern marriage to reveal the fragile fault lines beneath. Margulies’ incisive dialogue and unflinching honesty make this contemporary classic as relevant today as ever, challenging audiences to ask: How well do we really know the people we love?

Fresh from a hit Broadway run starring Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone, this cheeky comedy centers on recently divorced, middle-aged, and quintessentially Midwestern Sharon who reluctantly rents out a room to Robyn, a worldly, spiritually hip vegan from New York.

The Classical Theatre Company opens its 19th Season with the master of wit and language, George Bernard Shaw, and his hilarious farce, Arms and the Man. It is the first time since 20017’s Mrs. Warren’s Profession that CTC has produced a play by the playwright.

Arms and the Man follows Raina Petkoff and the idealistic view of war she holds until she shelters Captain Bluntschli, a practical Swiss mercenary who values survival over heroics. As misunderstandings and romantic entanglements unfold, the characters' illusions about love, courage, and social status are challenged by Bluntschli's realism. By the end, the play satirizes romantic ideals and shows that honesty, practicality, and genuine affection are more valuable than appearances and empty notions of glory.

Directed by John Johnston, who most recently directed the critically-acclaimed Othello for Classical Theatre Company.

Alley All New Festival is back this fall with three days of staged readings. Since its inception in 2016, the festival has become an incubator for world premieres and will feature new works by the boldest voices of American Theatre.

Founding Artistic Director Alric Davis stars as Victor Frankenstein alongside acclaimed actor Steve Scott as the Creature in Tim Kelly’s adaptation of Frankenstein. Driven by ambition and a desire to conquer death, Victor Frankenstein creates life — and immediately rejects the being he has brought into the world. Shunned by his creator and feared by society, the Creature is forced into isolation, learning humanity only through observation while being denied it at every turn. Frankenstein challenges audiences to reconsider who the real monster is: the one who is feared, or the world that refuses to see his humanity.
