NEXT TO NORMAL
book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey
Music by Tom kitt

Thursdays-Saturdays @ 7
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.

The Reynolds Affair
by Rob Taylor

6:30pm

“I sacrifice my office—I sacrifice my wife—but, by God, I can’t sell my country.”

It is 1797. At the absolute peak of his power, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton has secured the fragile economic future of the United States through brilliant maneuvering. But when bitter political adversaries James Madison and William Giles confront him with damning proof of secretive, illegal payouts, Hamilton finds himself backed into a dangerous corner. Believing him guilty of insider trading and financial corruption, his rivals demand a total surrender: withdraw his historic financial legislation, or face public ruin.

They have miscalculated. Driven by an unyielding sense of public honor—and desperate to protect the infant Republic—Hamilton chooses to expose a far more intimate, devastating truth. What began as an unexpected attempt at extortion by James and Maria Reynolds quickly spiraled into a scandal that now threatens to shatter Hamilton’s marriage to his devoted wife, Betsy, and sever his ties with her powerful family.

Set entirely within the intimate pressure-cooker of the Hamilton household, The Reynolds Affair explores the razor-thin line between public duty and personal morality. Featuring iconic historical figures including Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, and Philip Schuyler, this gripping drama examines the cost of ambition, the nature of political warfare, and the grueling path toward forgiveness. Don’t miss this thrilling production of high-stakes political maneuvering, fierce family loyalty, and the ultimate sacrifice for a nation’s soul.
