The History Boys
by Alan Bennett

Winner of the 2006 Tony Award for Best Play

An unruly bunch of bright, funny senior boys in a British boarding school are, as such boys are apt to be, in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at a good university – generally in that order. In their efforts, they are helped and hindered, enlightened and bemused by a maverick English teacher who seeks to broaden their horizons in sometimes undefined ways, a young history teacher who questions the methods and aims of their schooling and an overeager headmaster.

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES: Contains Adult Themes and Language
 

Produced by Rich Klare

Fairytales in Training
by Meg Miller and Robin Zerbe

Schools out for summer, but in the world of Fairytales, school is still in session!

Join us for class at "Grimm's Resplendent Enchanted Academy of Talented and Magical Imaginary Neverending Delightful Stories" as some of your favorite fairytale characters are in the midst of practicing and studying for their final exams. How did Prince Charming get to be so dog gone charming anyway? Why Castle Etiquette 211, of course. Is it three waves of the magic wand before or after saying the magic words? Do you add bat wing and eye of newt or purple Frogs tongue and chicken lips to your invisibility potion?

Little Bo Peep aced the English exam but if she can't find her sheep will she be able to pass Fairy Math 101? ESP Theatre For Young Audiences takes a peek into "G.R.E.A.T.M.I.N.D.S" the most prestigious Fairytale School on the planet where mere characters learn to become your favorite Fairytale Heros! and who knows, the school might be recruiting!

Passion
Book by James Lapine, Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Winner of the 1994 Tony Award for Best Musical

No less than the wondrously complex landscape of the human heart is the subject of this haunting, intensely emotional musical by the uncompromising creators of “Sunday In The Park With George” and “Into The Woods.”

A remote military outpost in 1863 Italy, a handsome army captain, separated from his beautiful – but married – mistress, is forced to re-evaluate his beliefs about love when he becomes the object of the obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel’s plain, sickly cousin.

Produced by Nanette Reynolds (Shining City, Doubt, The Iceman Cometh, Blood Brothers, The Weir, Art)
Directed by Gloria DuGan (Doubt, Blood Brothers, Art, The Runner Stumbles, All the King’s Men)
