Current Theatre Season
TNU 2024-2025 Season
Join us this year for stories shining light and hope amid darkness! Mark your calendars today!
INTO THE WOODS
Replete with beanstalks, giants, glass slippers, distressed damsels, and forlorn princes, our most famous childhood stories become ingeniously entangled in Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s epic, fan-favorite musical. But, life after the “happily ever after” takes on new meaning in these “fractured fairy tales” when we discover what it takes to conquer the most challenging giants of all—those within ourselves.
SILENT SKY
According to American Theatre Magazine, Lauren Gunderson is one of the most produced playwrights in the U.S. since 2015. Her brilliant SILENT SKY is just one luminous example of that. As described on her website, it follows the “true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt [who] explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific and heart-bound discoveries. With music and math bursting forth onstage, Henrietta and her female peers change the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.”
THE TEMPEST
Considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays—his swan song to a thundering career as a worldshaking playwright—THE TEMPEST is a magical tale, a journey of revenge, love, family and forgiveness. The lure of the great poet’s pen transports us to that fabled, uncharted isle, along with its unwary band of shipwrecked offenders. Prospero controls the island, its inhabitants and its visitors by blurring reality and illusion so that nothing is what it seems. But, what good is his magical power if it forges fear instead of love?
MOSAIC
MOSAIC is Trevecca’s rousing annual play festival featuring staged readings of original student scripts performed by student actors. For this year’s unique medley of stories, we hope you can join us in support of our emerging playwrights and their imaginative, always thoughtful and frequently humorous work.
