Our Shows

THE THANKSGIVING PLAY

by Larissa FastHorse

“ . . . you need to kill a turkey.”

In this biting satire, four actors attempt to create a culturally sensitive performance of the first Thanksgiving, and succeed—in getting it so, so wrong.

See it BEFORE it premieres on Broadway next Spring!

  • September 29–October 1 (7:30 P.M.)
  • October 2 (2:00 P.M. matinee)
  • October 6–8 (7:30 P.M.)
  • October 9 (2:00 P.M. matinee)

INTO THE WOODS

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by James Lapine

“Careful the wish you make . . .”

This funny and dark take on familiar fairy tale characters demonstrate the danger of getting your heart’s desire—and what happens after “happily ever after.”

Our tribute to the genius of the late Stephen Sondheim.

  • November 17 & 19 (7:30 P.M.)
  • November 20 (2:00 P.M. matinee)
  • December 1–3 (7:30 P.M.)
  • December 4 (2:00 P.M. matinee)

MEN ON BOATS

by Jaclyn Backhaus

“Oars up!”

A (somewhat) true theatrical exploration of the Green and Colorado Rivers in 1869, by a one-armed captain and his dedicated crew, with all the twists and turns of a rafting trip.

History reconsidered, with a cast of non-binary and female performers.

  • February 23–25 (7:30 P.M.)
  • February 26 (2:00 P.M. matinee)
  • March 2–4 (7:30 P.M.)
  • March 5 (2:00 P.M. matinee)

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH

by William Shakespeare

“ . . . something wicked this way comes.”

This classic bloody tale of fate, treachery, and revenge moves swiftly through the rapid rise of Macbeth from a general to king of Scotland.

A unique staging just for UNO’s theatre space.

  • April 20–22 (7:30 P.M.)
  • April 23 (2:00 P.M. matinee)
  • April 27–29 (7:30 P.M.)
  • April 30 (2:00 P.M. matinee)
