Dear Evan Hansen
Following its hugely successful run at Broadway's Music Box Theater, this darkly comic musical is touring across the country once more. The six-time Tony-winning, poignant and thought-provoking production has received rave reviews from critics for its unexpectedly touching portrayal of misunderstood youth, young love, and the search for acceptance, with a score from the composing team behind 2017's Academy Award-winning La-La Land, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul.
Come From Away
Following well-received engagements on Broadway, London's West End and its premiere city Toronto, this hit musical based on true events comes to you on their North American tour! Nominated for 8 Tony Awards and 9 Drama Desk gongs, this is a musical that celebrates human endurance, compassion, and bravery under dreadful circumstances.
The Sojourners
Nigerian-American playwright Mfoniso Udofia tells the story of a Nigerian couple grappling with the challenges of immigration and cultural identity, in her award-winning play Sojourners. Set in 1970s Houston, the play follows Abasiama and Ukpong, a married couple who arrive in America with big plans to return to Nigeria with college degrees and a world of experience to build a future there. However, when Ukpong becomes captivated by American culture, Abasiama is forced to question her place in this new world, caught between her commitment to tradition and her dreams.
