Book, music, & lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein | Directed by James Vásquez| Co-Produced with Indiana Repertory Theatre
An uplifting musical about open doors and open hearts.
Based on the incredible true story, this Tony Award-winning tale is filled with rousing, rowdy, rough-hewn folk songs—an inspiring tribute to one Canadian town’s heroic hospitality in the wake of 9/11.
“Try, if you must, to resist the gale of good will that blows out of Come From Away… a big bearhug of a musical.”
– The New York Times

Do you hear the people sing?
This new production of Victor Hugo’s sweeping tale of romance, rebellion, and redemption will bring you closer to the agony, the ecstasy, and the action than ever before.
“Magnificent. Les Mis has towering passion and operatic intensity… it whumps you in the solar plexus.”
– TimeOut London

By Karen Zacarias
Directed by Rebecca Martinez
A comedy about books and the people who love them.
Ana Smith is thrilled when a famous director asks to film her beloved Book Club meetings for a documentary. But when things don’t go according to plan the group’s drama becomes juicier than even the most salacious page-turner.
“Authentically amusing… a comedy of modern literary manners.”
– The Washington Post
March 3 – 21, 2027

By Kimberly Belflower | Directed by Melissa Crespo | Co-produced with the Syracuse University Department of Drama
A wickedly funny coming of age story.
In a one stoplight town in rural Georgia, five high school girls reclaim their voices as they make the case against a problematic “hero” in Kimberly Belflower’s twisty, modern revision of a canonical text.
“Spellbinding. Urgent. This is the perfect play for our moment.”
– Variety

WORLD PREMIERE
By Kyle Bass | Directed by Gilbert McCauley
A love letter to Syracuse from the writer of Possessing Harriet.
1950s Syracuse: The Nationals represent the city in the fledgling NBA while the team’s two African American players, among the first Black athletes to play professionally, fight to leave their mark on the court and on the history of the game.
“Bass’ plays tell the stories of real-life African-Americans set against the backdrop of some of our most turbulent times.”
– Utica Observer-Dispatch
