Upcoming Shows

2025/2026 SEASON

HANDEL + VIVALDI + TELEMANN

This program explores the Baroque era’s power to ignite the senses and stir the imagination. Soprano Amanda Forsythe brings expressive nuance to Handel’s arias and Bach’s glowing “Wedding Cantata”. Director of Chamber Music Margaret Batjer leads the ensemble through Vivaldi’s shadowy La Notte and Biber’s Battalia—a theatrical experiment where clashing keys and rhythms evoke chaos and conflict. Telemann’s Don Quixote closes the concert, turning Cervantes’s wandering knight into a series of sharply drawn musical vignettes.

BODYTRAFFIC

When summer heats up, so does BODYTRAFFIC. This dynamic company brings a program bursting with rhythm, wit, and unfettered energy. BODYTRAFFIC is pure spectacle of movement—playful, provocative, and unapologetically bold.

A group of former child stars reunites to perform at a fan convention where mysterious products promising confidence, popularity, and belonging begin appearing everywhere.

SCREENING: FLEABAG

Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to cinemas to the big screen. Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.
