This absurdist drama focuses on King Berenger, grappling with his mortality and letting go of his position and power. This dark and timeless tale comes at a key point in America’s own history. With the 250th anniversary of the nation now past, the many young and inspiring minds that represent the future of our country are asking: “What comes next?” Through this production we encourage everyone to get out and vote – let your voice be heard.

A refreshing take of a literary classic!  Against the backdrop of the Civil War, the March sisters find themselves at the intersection of authenticity and the pressures they face to be accepted in a war-torn society. Get ready for a production tackling what it takes to grow up, facing a world defined by gender, classism, and personal tragedy. This modern take on Louisa May Alcott’s classic is fit to burst with humor, emotion, and soul.
