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?

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”
