Four eccentric, and washed-up Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage.

A Black queer odyssey navigating childhood and sexuality, O’Hara’s semi-autobiographical comedy offers us rage, reflection, and... a rack of ribs. What lengths are you willing to take to be embraced as you are, and does safety always outweigh authenticity?

Tantrum Theater's: Pride and Prejudice

Adapted by Kate Hamill
Directed by Sullivan Canaday White
Adapted from the novel by Jane Austen

Jane Austen’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so full of life. Kate Hamill’s boisterous and highly theatrical adaptation explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. Because what turns us into greater fools than the high-stakes game of love?

A Little Night Music

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh Wheeler
Directed by Steven Strafford-Elkins

What if who you were meant to be with for the rest of your life arrived back to you after fourteen years? What if there was a snag? What if the snag was his marriage to a much younger woman?  Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music will fill your night with beautiful music, laughter, and a story of how love (and lust) makes fools of us all.

Trojan Women

By Euripides
A new version by Brendan Kennelly
Directed by Sarah Curtis

·¡³Ü°ù¾±±è¾±»å±ð²õ’ Trojan Women is a timeless Greek tragedy that explores the devastating consequences of war, focusing on the experiences of the women of Troy. It serves as an indictment on the horrors of conflict and showcases the resilience of the human spirit. Brendan Kennelley’s translation tells this classic story in a new way, giving the traditions of Greek tragedy a contemporary bite. This production brings us into the modern world and places this story closer to home.
