August Wilson’s mystical and heartbreaking masterpiece.

1911. Pittsburgh. Seth Holly’s boarding house is home to drifters and broken hearts, a waystation for folks biding their time. The residents include a restless musician with a wandering eye, a young woman waiting on a husband who’s not coming back, and an eccentric mystic who performs rituals in the yard while helping others find their song. Enter Herald Loomis, recently freed from a Southern chain gang with his young daughter in tow and desperate to reunite with a wife who might not want to be found. A lyrical triumph from Wilson’s magnificent Century Cycle, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is a haunting and poetic tale of lost souls searching for spiritual mooring in the raging sea that is America.

A REBEL PRAYER
ACADEMIC WORLD PREMIERE

Book and Lyrics by Eloise T. Govedare | Music by Aleksandra M. Weil | Directed by Kathleen Wrinn | Music Direction by Brian Cimmet | Choreography by Bradley Stone | Mar 27 - Apr 5 | Opening Night: Mar 28

A searing new musical about protest, loss, and the power of art.

“Look the beast in the eyes, and stare. Say a rebel prayer.” When a politically provocative play costs her father his life, 16-year-old Nikita and her mother are forced to flee Moscow for Domikov, a remote Russian town where tyrannical headmistress Ludmilla Mukhina rules the local school with an iron fist. Mired in grief and desperate to return home, Nikita is visited by the spirits of Pussy Riot, the real-life punk-protest collective imprisoned for their art. But when they offer Nikita one of their masks to carry on her father’s legacy, Nikita is faced with a dangerous choice: submit, or rebel?
