Opening February 20th
Julius Caesar
Showing February 20 - March 15, 2026
Fridays/Saturdays at 8PM, Sundays at 2PM
A would-be emperor. Suspicious senators. Jealous conspirators.
Julius Caesar has been gaining a lot of influence recently and people treat him like a god. Cassius and Brutus are concerned about Caesar's reactions to the power he holds in the Republic - what if he becomes a tyrant? A group of conspirators with the goal of assassinating Caesar recruit the concerned senators to their cause, Caesar's right-hand man Marc Antony seeks vengeance, and Rome is thrown into civil war.
Coming Soon
Sylvia
Showing April 10 - 26, 2026
Fridays/Saturdays at 8PM, Sundays at 2PM
Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after twenty-two years of child-raising in the suburbs. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy and the audience is put in serious stitches. Will Greg and Kate (and Sylvia) survive this mess?
SYLVIA is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
