Macbeth

February 23-March 13

One of the darkest, most powerful and disturbing works by this playwright. The Scottish nobleman Macbeth receives a supernatural prophecy and chooses a life of violence, unleashing the devastating psychological effects of evil and the lust for power.

Nora

April 12-May 1
By Ingmar Bergman, adapted from Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House

Ibsen’s powerful masterpiece about one woman who discovers the crippling restrictions placed upon her, and upon all woman, by her culture, adapted by the one of the greatest film makers of the 20th century. This searing retelling pares the story down to the five people caught in the web of lies and misinformation, and as a result cuts to heart of this classic and deeply tragic play.
