"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike"
by Christopher Durang

August 13-23

Directed by Diane Falcone - Family drama has never been this funny as old grudges, midlife meltdowns, and one ridiculously attractive houseguest collide in a Tony Award-winning comedy. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia have spent years living quietly in their family’s country home…until their glamorous movie-star sister, Masha, arrives with her much-younger boyfriend, Spike, turning their peaceful lives upside down.

As old resentments, outrageous predictions, and laugh-out-loud family drama unfold, this Tony Award-winning comedy by Christopher Durang delivers razor-sharp wit, unforgettable characters, and plenty of hilarious surprises.

Whether you’ve ever survived a family gathering or simply love smart, fast-paced comedy, "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" is a theatrical treat you won’t want to miss! Mature themes and mild language

The winner of six Tony® Awards (including Best Book, Best Score, Best Orchestrations, and Best Musical), the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and an Olivier Award for Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen is a deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it, featuring a score by Grammy, Tony and Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (A Christmas Story, La La Land, The Greatest Showman).

All his life, Evan Hansen has felt invisible. But when a tragic event shocks the community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for.
