By Rosa Joshi and Kate Wisniewski
Directed by Shona Tucker
Disguise, deception, desire are front and center in this comic tale of love and language. Banished to the enchanted Forest of Arden, the witty and courageous Rosalind disguises herself as a man to navigate a world of romantic role-playing and unexpected love. This pastoral comedy turns the tables on tradition, using clever banter and charming deception to explore gender, identity, and the foolishness of love. This production is part of Play On Shakespeare, which commissions new translations and supports productions of “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse.

Tony® and Grammy® Award winner John Lloyd Young is best known as the original star of Broadway’s Jersey Boys as well as the Warner Bros. film adaptation, directed by Clint Eastwood.

Signature programs run by UBW include the Summer Leadership Institute (SLI), BOLD (Builders, Organizers & Leaders through Dance), the Choreographic Center Initiative (CCI), and the CCI Producing Program (CCI 2.0). UBW combines radical performance, deep engagement, and ancestral knowledge from the African diaspora into a force that is urgent, forward-looking, and essential. More information on Urban Bush Women.

By Joy Wilkinson
Directed by Dara Malina
London, 1869. Four very different Victorian women are drawn into the dark underground world of female boxing by the eccentric Professor Sharp. Controlled by men and constrained by corsets, each finds an unexpected freedom in the boxing ring. As their lives begin to intertwine, their journey takes us through grand drawing rooms, bustling theatres and rowdy Southwark pubs, where the women fight inequality as well as each other. But with the final showdown approaching, only one can become the Lady Boxing Champion of the World…

By Anton Chekhov, in a modern version by Leah Ryan
Directed by Terra Vandergaw
During one hot, sticky, lakeside summer, two young artists yearn for love and recognition, while the already famous buckle under the pressures and harsh realities of their success. How far will any of them go to chase validation and meaning? Chekhov’s darkly funny play explores the vulnerability in ambition and the fragility of big dreams and bigger expectations.
