Macbethdirected by Eddie DeHais

In this wildly fantastical rendition of Shakespeare’s epic the unpredictable is the norm. A coven of raving mad and mischievous witches leads a journey marked by Macbeth’s bloody rise to power, Lady Macbeth’s descent into madness, and the brutal climax. Visual spectacle, unexpected laughter, and nightmarish screams propel this story about the repercussions of unchecked ambition.

The Tempest
directed by Aileen McGroddy

After a mysterious storm strands shipwreck survivors on a strange island, the island’s inhabitants – the deposed duke Prospero, his daughter Miranda, and several magical spirits – must adapt to the changes these new visitors bring. What starts out as Prospero’s pursuit of vengeance becomes a magical and musical story of love and justice.
