Opens November 12
Gompertz Theatre

The ’50s are out and change is in the air. Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion – to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, and overnight is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program’s princess, win over her heartthrob, and socially integrate a television show without denting her ‘do?

 

“Infectiously funny” – Chicago Tribune

Dancing Lessons
By Mark St. Germaine

Opens December 10 
Keating Theatre 

A young man with Asperger’s Syndrome seeks the instruction of a Broadway dancer, now sidelined with injuries. As their relationship unfolds, they’re caught off-guard by the surprising discoveries – both hilarious and heartwarming – that they make about each other.

 

“Inspirational” – Berkshire Onstage
By Trey Ellis and Ricardo Khan

Opens February 4 
Gompertz Theatre

A powerful story of the fight and flight for freedom both abroad and at home. Fly follows four  
African-American military pioneers from training through WWII. Proving themselves as officers and pilots, they paved the way for desegregation of the American military. A true tale of brotherhood, acceptance, and equality.
 

 

“Superior piece of theatrical synergy” 

– The New York Times 

Chapatti

By Christian O’Reilly 

 

Opens April 8

Gompertz Theatre 

 

(Chuh-pah-tee) A flat pancake-like bread, usually of wholewheat flour, baked on a griddle. Romance is a distant memory for two lonely animal-lovers living in Dublin. When forlorn Dan and his dog Chapatti cross paths with the amiable Betty and her nineteen cats, an unexpected spark begins a warm and gentle story about two people rediscovering the importance of human companionship.

“Compassionate new piece”

– Chicago Tribune
