THE (R)EVOLUTION OF STEVE JOBS
February 27, March 3, 5 and 7, 2021
THE STORY OF THE PERSONAL COMPUTER HAS NEVER BEEN MORE PERSONAL.
In a brand-new production as innovative as the man who inspired it, we explore the life of Steve Jobs, from hippie idealist to tech icon. How is it that a person whose devices have connected us in so many ways struggled to make meaningful connections with the people closest to him? Beneath the towering Silicon Valley legend is the story of a complicated human being whose personal demons had lasting consequences.
CARMEN
April 24, 28, 30 and May 2, 2021
IF YOU’RE NOT WRAPPED AROUND HER FINGER, CHECK UNDER HER HEEL.
Bizet’s feminist fatale is the kind of woman your mother warned you about—and secretly wanted to be. When Carmen is arrested by Don Jose, her passion is so potent that he lets her go, and follows her into a new life among smugglers and fortune tellers. After a tarot card reading foretells death, their romance becomes Fate’s first victim. Jealous and obsessed, Jose confronts Carmen. Will she make one more daring escape, or is her fate inevitable?
