JANUARY 23-FEBRUARY 15

Inspired by the real comedians in Sid Caesar’s writing room.

The coffee is strong, the jokes are sharp, and the egos are enormous in Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor. Inspired by Simon’s own days in the writers’ room of Your Show of Shows, this behind-the-scenes comedy captures the outrageous antics, razor-sharp banter, and heartfelt camaraderie of a team of comic geniuses. A fast, funny, and unforgettable theatre experience.

APRIL 17 MAY 3

An American Classic, reinvented.  

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a suspense-filled classic that will keep you on the edge of your seat. In the rigid Puritan community of Salem, whispers of witchcraft ignite a wave of fear and suspicion, setting neighbor against neighbor in a deadly game of accusation and hysteria. DTW favorite Tess Phillips stars as Abigail Williams, the cunning and manipulative young woman whose lies and vengeful schemes spark the Salem witch trials. Directed by Artistic Director Lance Phillips, this bold new staging features lyrical movement, striking visuals, and an immersive atmosphere that transforms this timeless story into a theatrical spectacle.
