Based on Alison Bechdel’s award-winning and groundbreaking graphic memoir, Fun Home is a musical about the stories we tell ourselves to better understand our lives. After the sudden death of her father, adult Alison tries to piece together the narrative of her life and wonders where her perspective might have only captured some of the truth. Moving through memories, Alison revisits her unconventional childhood, her joyous discovery of her queerness as a young adult, and moments where she considers what was happening outside her frame of reference. A musical about growing up and outgrowing your parents, it is a story about breaking generational patterns and embracing your whole self. Winner of the Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, this musical made history for being the first all-women writing team to win these awards.

Our Town is the beloved story of the people who live in the small town of Grover’s Corners.

This version of Our Town, as seen in the recent Broadway revival, is the definitive version of Thornton Wilder’s enduring play.

Get ready to laugh, cry and fall in love with lyrics that are heartbreakingly true and music that captures the soaring emotions of a new generation with Side by Side by Sondheim. Simple and unpretentious, this Tony Award-winning musical is a perfect introduction to the work of this contemporary master and a must for diehard fans.
Stephen Sondheim has been the leading composer of musical theatre for the past fifty years. His work is timeless. From the streets of ancient Rome, through nineteenth-century Japan and turn-of-the-century Sweden, to the high-rise apartments of 1970 Manhattan, his songs represent a definitive time and place, and yet move beyond their particular settings to speak to us all. Now, with this award-winning revue of his earlier work, some of the most lush, unforgettable songs from this musical theatre master are presented in one magical evening. Featuring music from Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone Can Whistle and Pacific Overtures, not to mention the classics written with musical theatre giants, Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne and Richard Rodgers, this dazzling array of some of Sondheim’s best-known songs demonstrates his masterful craft and astounding creativity.

A family, a ghost, and a question that won’t let go. Players’ Shakespeare returns to the stage this summer for an unforgettable production of William Shakespeare’s HAMLET.
The ghost of Denmark’s king tells his son, Prince Hamlet, that he was murdered by Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius. Claudius has since seized the throne and married the widowed queen. Searching for the truth, Hamlet feigns madness, causing distress throughout the court. His actions trigger a tragic chain of events, causing many deaths of both the guilty and the innocent!
Players’ Shakespeare’s Mission: To inspire, engage and entertain the widest possible audience through high quality, affordable productions with a core commitment to the works of Shakespeare through an array of educational, outreach and mentorship programs.
Our values include the pursuit of excellence, storytelling that is dramatic and illuminating, language that is poetic and muscular, the integration of performance training and education, and honoring the canon while being responsive to a contemporary audience.
Dominic Cuskern, President of Gallery Players and the Producing Director of Players’ Shakespeare, has played Shylock, Malvolio, Prospero among many other Shakespearean roles. He has appeared on Broadway and taught Shakespeare at the Pearl Theatre Conservatory: both technique and scene study.
