Starting and ending with the mighty hymn to the capricious Goddess Fortuna and her relentlessly turning wheel, the bold tunes and primal rhythms of Carmina Burana celebrate nature, the tavern, and the pleasures of love. It’s earthy and risqué, but sometimes also breathtakingly beautiful—like the soprano’s heaven-reaching solo—or raucous and rowdy, as the lusty drinking song, “In taberna.”

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

Adapted By Lauren M. Gunderson
Directed by Joanie Schultz

From America’s most produced playwright comes another fresh adaptation of a familiar classic. Lauren Gunderson’s Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women takes the legendary novelist and places her at the center of her own story. Under the guidance of their beloved mother, the four young March sisters — tempestuous Jo, traditional Meg, gentle Beth, and spirited Amy — struggle to keep their family going while their father serves in the Civil War. This enduring celebration of sisterhood comes to life as a young writer makes space for herself and her stories in a society she’s determined to change.

“A very lively new adaptation puts the author in the spotlight.” — Chicago Tribune
