SUMMARY:Spring Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Join the Conservatory for the Performing Arts at �ԹϺ����� for Season 79! \n\n\n\n\n\nSpring Awakening follows a group of teenagers in late 19th-century Germany as they struggle with the pressures of growing up\, strict social expectations\, and the confusion surrounding love\, sexuality\, and identity. At the center of the story are Melchior\, an intelligent and rebellious student; Wendla\, a curious and sheltered young girl; and Moritz\, a sensitive boy overwhelmed by academic pressure and anxiety. As the adults around them refuse to openly discuss important issues\, the teenagers are left to navigate their emotions and experiences alone. \n\n\n\nThrough a powerful contemporary rock score and emotional storytelling\, the musical explores themes of self-discovery\, repression\, mental health\, and the consequences of silence between generations. As the characters search for freedom and understanding\, their choices lead to both moments of hope and heartbreaking tragedy\, making Spring Awakening a deeply moving coming-of-age story. \n\n\n\nSpring Awakening is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. \n\n\n\nShowtimes\n\n\n\n\n11 a.m. on Oct. 2\n\n\n\n7:30 p.m. on Oct. 2 & 3\n\n\n\n2 p.m. Oct. 3 & 4 \n\n\n\n\nTickets will go on sale August 15\, 2026. \n\n\n\nBook & Lyrics by Steven SaterMusic by Duncan SheikBased on the play by Frank Wedekind

SUMMARY:Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:Join the Conservatory for the Performing Arts at �ԹϺ����� for Season 79! \n\n\n\n\n\nEurydice reimagines the classic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice from Eurydice’s perspective. After falling deeply in love with Orpheus\, a gifted musician\, Eurydice dies unexpectedly on her wedding day and journeys to the Underworld. There\, she reunites with her father\, who has been waiting for her and helps her rediscover her memories and sense of self. As Eurydice adjusts to the strange rules of the Underworld\, she struggles between her love for Orpheus and her growing connection to her father. \n\n\n\nThe play explores themes of love\, loss\, memory\, and the difficulty of letting go. Through poetic dialogue and imaginative staging\, Sarah Ruhl creates a dreamlike version of the myth that focuses on family relationships and human emotion rather than heroic adventure. As Orpheus attempts to bring Eurydice back to the world of the living\, the story builds toward a bittersweet ending that highlights the fragility of memory and the enduring power of love. \n\n\n\nEurydice is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French\, Inc.www.concordtheatricals.com \n\n\n\nShowtimes\n\n\n\n\n11 a.m. on Oct. 30\n\n\n\n7:30 p.m. on Oct. 30\n\n\n\n2 p.m. on Oct. 31 & Nov. 1\n\n\n\n\nTickets will go on sale August 15\, 2026. \n\n\n\nBy Sarah Ruhl

SUMMARY:Picnic
DESCRIPTION:Join the Conservatory for the Performing Arts at �ԹϺ����� for Season 79! \n\n\n\n\n\nPicnic is a Pulitzer Prize-winning drama that captures the restless longing and hidden desires simmering beneath the surface of small-town Midwestern life. Set over Labor Day weekend in Kansas\, the play follows the arrival of Hal Carter\, a charming and impulsive drifter whose presence disrupts the quiet routines of two neighboring households. As relationships shift and tensions rise\, the characters are forced to confront their dreams\, disappointments\, and desires for something greater than the lives they have settled into. \n\n\n\nWritten by acclaimed American playwright William Inge\, Picnic reflects Inge’s deep understanding of Midwestern communities and ordinary people searching for connection and meaning. Before achieving Broadway success\, Inge taught at �ԹϺ����� from 1938 to 1943\, where he instructed students in English\, journalism\, and drama. His experiences in Missouri and the American Midwest heavily influenced the emotional realism and atmosphere found throughout Picnic. \n\n\n\nPicnic is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. \n\n\n\nShowtimes\n\n\n\n\n7:30 p.m. on March 19 & 20\n\n\n\n11 a.m. on March 19\n\n\n\n2 p.m. on March 20 & 21\n\n\n\n\nTickets will go on sale August 15\, 2026. \n\n\n\nBy William Inge
