Woody Sez
The Life & Music of Woody Guthrie
September 13 - October 6, Allen Theatre
Experience the life of America’s greatest folk singer through riveting stories and over 25 of his legendary songs, performed by four versatile actor/musicians. You’ll discover why Woody Guthrie’s music and mission have influenced singers from Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan to John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen.

Venus in Fur
November 1 - November 24, Second Stage - Runway Configuration
The traditional power dynamic of an audition shifts as an up-and-coming director learns that it’s impossible to play with fire and not get singed. Blurring the line between fantasy and reality, this electrifying and seductive comedy was lauded by The New York Times as “seriously smart and very funny.”

Yentl
January 10 - February 2, Allen Theatre
A young woman defies convention and the laws of her people to fulfill her dream. Disguised as a young man, she becomes a brilliant student — and the most wanted bachelor in town. Yentl is a startlingly modern love story, and a smart, witty comedy that will win your heart.

Breath and Imagination
February 14 - March 9, Allen Theatre
Before the inspiring voices of Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson, there was an African-American tenor named Roland Hayes. This musical tale of faith, hope, and family traces a remarkable journey from rural Georgia to Carnegie Hall and Buckingham Palace.

Clybourne Park
March 21 - April 13, Allen Theatre
Neighborhoods change, but do people? This “ferociously smart” and “pulverizingly funny” satire reveals the lives in one house through 50 years of societal changes. The Washington Post calls it “one of the feistiest, funniest evenings in years.”

Informed Consent
April 25 - May 18, Second Stage - Thrust Configuration
Scientific breakthroughs allow us to know more about ourselves than ever before. But how much do we want to know — and who gets to decide how that information is used? Based on a true story, Informed Consent takes us into the personal and national debate about science vs. belief and whether our DNA is our destiny.

Maurice Hines is Tappin' Thru Life
May 30 - June 22, Allen Theatre
Tap dance legend Maurice Hines stars in this explosive world premiere production. Featuring contemporary tap icons The Manzari Brothers, and backed by a sizzling orchestra, this celebration of Mr. Hines’s life and showbiz forerunners, including Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, and Nat King Cole.
