    TWELFTH NIGHT

    By William Shakespeare

    Directed by Daniela Varon

    October 15 – 25, 2026

    Nafe Katter Theatre

     

    Shipwrecked and cast upon the shores of Illyria, Viola – believing her twin brother lost – disguises herself as a boy, Cesario, and enters the service of Duke Orsino. When Orsino sends Cesario as his intermediary to woo Countess Olivia, the fair lady falls for the messenger instead, and Viola finds herself entwined in a mess of mishaps, misunderstandings, and mistaken identities, where nothing is as it seems. Add a steward with delusions of grandeur, and a healthy dose of shenanigans, and the stage is set for mayhem and merriment. CRT guest artist Daniela Varon directs this classic, beloved comedy.

    LOUISA MAY ALCOTT’S LITTLE WOMEN

    By Lauren Gunderson

    Directed by Kristen Palmer

    December 3 – 11, 2026 

    Nafe Katter Theatre

     

    From America’s most produced playwright comes a brilliant new stage adaptation of the beloved classic tale following the March sisters' coming of age during the Civil War. Louisa May Alcott's Little Women is a timeless celebration of family, resilience, sisterhood, and the determined young author who crafted the original story. A perfect holiday excursion for the whole family.

    GIANTS HAVE US IN THEIR BOOKS

    By José Rivera

    Directed by Rudy Ramirez

    March 4 – 13, 2027

    The Studio Theatre

     

    Visiting faculty member Rudy Ramirez helms these four (4) short plays from José Rivera’s imaginative collection. Rivera’s "fairy tales for grown-ups” explore themes of fear, love, longing, and the stories we tell to make sense of a world that dwarfs us - all crafted in a magical, metaphorical and poetic style. A gorgeous, thought-provoking evening.

    URINETOWN, THE MUSICAL

    Music and Lyrics by Mark Hollmann

    Book and Lyrics by Greg Kotis

    Directed and Choreographed by Spencer Reese

    Music Direction by Dmitriy Glivinsky

    April 15 – 25, 2027

    Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre

     

    This wildly entertaining Tony-Award-winning musical takes aim at capitalism, social justice, environmental collapse, and musical theater itself. Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown, The Musical provides a fresh perspective and a delightful, thought-provoking evening of theatre.
