JUNE 19
Chill
by Erin Dietsche
7pm
On a freezing winter morning at a prominent university, the leaders of the Kappa Epsilon Nu fraternity wake up to a nightmare: a young freshman pledge is found dead on the basement couch. As the university administration moves swiftly to protect its reputation and the fraternity brothers scramble to save their futures, a shocking allegation comes to light that completely fractures the narrative.
What seemed like a tragic accident unravels into a dark web of hazing, institutional silence, and devastating trauma. Caught in the crossfire are a mother drowning in the denial of who her son really was, and a brave young survivor determined to speak her truth against an institution built to silence her.
CHILL is a razor-sharp, gripping psychological drama that exposes the toxic underbelly of campus Greek life and asks a terrifying question: When a tragedy occurs, who steps up to the plate—and who buries the truth?

NEXT TO NORMAL
book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey
Music by Tom kitt
Thursdays-Saturdays @ 8
Sundays @ 2
Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was also chosen as “one of the year’s ten best shows” by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.
Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.
