Catch-22
by Joseph Heller
Directed by Claire Moyer

Disillusioned bombardier Yossarian has only one goal--to live forever. He tries everything to get out of flying dangerous missions, but unfortunately, there’s always a catch: Every time Yossarian comes close to getting away from the war, the brass raises his mission quota, leaving him endlessly embroiled in military bureaucracy. Featuring a bizarre cast of characters, Joseph Heller’s stage adaptation of his classic satirical novel asks what it means to be sane while surrounded by madness.

The Magrath sisters, Lenny, Meg, and Babe, are reunited at their family home in Hazlehurst Mississippi after Babe shoots her husband. Each one is facing down her own demons, past and present. Lenny cares for the grandfather who raised her as he dies, Meg grapples with dreams that didn’t come true, and Babe squares off against an abusive spouse. It’s a portrait of a dysfunctional family, but Beth Henley’s Pulitzer prize winning play finds laughter within tragedy.

A World Premiere Musical!

"1938. A small town. A mysterious carnival. And two boys bent on escaping the midway of life to find adventure, and themselves. The hypnotic power and dark poetry of Ray Bradbury's classic novel Something Wicked This Way Comes sings and seduces in this bold new musical.

With an extraordinarily magical and unique visual world, you won't want to miss this traveling carnival as it sparks to life this fall. Get your tickets today!"
