The season will start with Robert Harling’s Steel Magnolias (Oct. 28-Nov. 11), about six women in Louisiana navigating love, loss, and friendship.

Next up will be Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Nov. 27-Dec. 16), with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton. The musical is about a young woman, captured by a prince-turned-beast, who brings hope and love to the cursed castle.

Next will be Lucas Hnath’s A Doll’s House, Part 2 (Feb. 24-March 10, 2019), which picks up Ibsen’s text 15 years after the play’s conclusion and examines Nora Helman’s untold story.
