Directed by Gregg T. Daniel
A captivating story about legacy, identity, and cultural heritage unfolds in 1930s Pittsburgh, where a brother and sister are locked in a bitter dispute. At the center of their debate is a precious family heirloom—a piano with the faces of their ancestors carved into it. While one sees an important history worth preserving, the other sees the key to unlocking a brighter future. In Wilson’s enthralling prose, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play weaves together elements of history and spirituality, creating a haunting story about reckoning with a complicated past.

One of Shakespeare’s most compelling and enduring works, this play depicts a tragic spiral of violence, propelled by unbridled ambition and the consequences of unchecked power. Set in a world of political intrigue and supernatural forces, we land in a divided nation at the edge of tearing itself apart. Delve deep into the psychological turmoil of a king tortured by guilt, fate, and the corrupting influence of his own desires. This is a dark and profound examination of evil and the power of a guilty conscience.

A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE • May 4 – June 1, 2025
Book by Terrence McNally
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Based on a Film “A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE”
Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott
This evocative award-winning musical celebrates the redemptive power of theater, love, and friendship. Set in 1960s Dublin, an unassuming bus driver, Alfie Byrne, is determined to stage a production of Oscar Wilde’s Salome with his troupe of amateur players in their local parish. But this man of seemingly no importance is somehow forced into confrontations with religious objections to his artistic pursuits, and pushed into facing the stigma and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name,” on this hard-fought journey of self-discovery.
