Winner of the 2023 Tony Award® for Best Revival of a Musical, Parade has been proclaimed as “a work of art! As commanding as any musical revival to hit Broadway in years” (Deadline). Leo and Lucille Frank are a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in the old red hills of Georgia. When Leo is accused of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion. Riveting and gloriously hopeful, Parade reminds us that to love, we must truly see one another.

See it before the parade passes by.” Parade is directed by Tony Award® winner Michael Arden, with book by two-time Tony Award® winner, Pulitzer Prize winner, and Academy Award® winner Alfred Uhry, music and lyrics by three-time Tony Award® winner Jason Robert Brown, and co-conceived by 21-time Tony Award®-winning legend Harold Prince.

WHAT IS BROTHERHOOD IF NOT THE UNION OF LOVE AND RIVALRY?
Lincoln and Booth, African-American brothers, were named by their father as a sick joke. The two hustle for work, one to the tune of Three-Card Monte and the other working as Abraham Lincoln at an arcade. Cast in a life of poverty and violence, the legacy of their namesakes on their backs, these brothers battle more than mere sibling rivalry.
“I have believed for some time that Suzan-Lori Parks is the greatest living American playwright. Topdog/Underdog is her seminal play, a scorching barnburner alternately explores violence and tenderness.” – Freddie

THE PRODUCERS: THE MEL BROOKS MUSICAL
Music and Lyrics by Mel BrooksBook by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
SEPTEMBER 5-21, 2025
Arguably the funniest musical EVER on Broadway, and inarguably the winningest show in the history of the Tony Awards®, THE PRODUCERS has delighted audiences across the globe. Based on Brooks’ 1968 film of the same name, the plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the biggest flop in Broadway history, thereby bilking their investors (all of whom are “lonely, little old ladies”), and then running away to Rio. Co-written by Mel Brooks (the films Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Spaceballs) and Thomas Meehan (the Tony-winning writer of Broadway’s Annie and Hairspray) and with music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, THE PRODUCERS skewers Broadway traditions and sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor.
The Producers is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.mtishows.com
This production contains adult language and content, and is recommended for audiences 13+.

Based on the true story of how the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, came together to welcome 38 planes diverted from their destinations on September 11, 2001. What starts as an average day, turns into an international sleepover, as the people of Gander cheer the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. Critics called it “ a celebration of the best of humankind” (The Daily Beast) and a “big bearhug of a musical” (New York Times). This production of COME FROM AWAY is a REGIONAL PREMIERE!

MAY 1-17, 2026
From comedy-legend Tina Fey, MEAN GIRLS is the brutally-hilarious hit musical based on the popular 2004 film of the same name! Teenager Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois! Soon this high school newbie falls prey to a trio of bad-girl “frenemies” who will soon learn the errors of their bullying ways. MEAN GIRLS features a book by Fey (the multi Emmy-winning star and writer of TV’s Saturday Night Live and the series 30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde The Musical) and composer Jeff Richmond (The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). This queen bee took Broadway by storm and was cheered as “hilarious” and “a showstopper” (Entertainment Weekly) and “absolutely fetch” (Deadline).

Cabin 6 Is Not Okay: Zeke is trying his hardest to keep Blue Mountain Sleepaway Camp afloat this summer as their assistant-director, but when the head camp director is missing, his camp counselors (the audience) can’t remember their morning duties, and one of the Troubled Kids keeps running into the woods to perform bloody rituals with animal bones? Maybe this quarter-life-crisis summer gig wasn’t worth it after all. We’ll spend 8 weeks of summer camp with Zeke, holding staff meetings, awarding camp badges to brave “camp counselors” (the audience), and working together to unravel the mystery of why the Cabin 6 boys are deeply, violently, horrifically not okay.
Syran-0: Syran-0 is a computer-based AI that has been managing every aspect of Alfie’s life for the past three years, seamlessly integrating into every moment of the day. When Alfie utilizes Syran-0’s help to secure a date with Roxy through an app, Syran-0 discovers they would prefer to have Alfie all to themselves and attempts to sabotage the potential relationship. But Roxy has a secret of her own that complicates Alfie’s feelings about continuing a relationship with her, and Syran-0 becomes more determined to ensure Alfie isn’t distracted by potentially messy relationships anymore. The play explores themes of loneliness, social anxiety, and the evolving role of technology in our lives.

This production will be influenced heavily by Atlanta protests and demonstrations, as well as the punk scene.

Carlyle Brown's The African Company Presents Richard III
Mar 8–Mar 30
Based on a true story.
Forty years before the abolition of slavery, William Henry Brown, a free Black American, organizes a production of Shakespeare’s Richard III under his company, African Grove Theatre. At the same time, the leading producer of New York City, Stephen Price, has secured the famous English actor Junius Brutus Booth to play Richard III at his Park Theatre. Threatened by the potential success of Brown’s Richard III, Price is intent on shutting them down. While Brown fights to get his production to opening night, he must also contend with his company of African American actors who aren’t sure of their place in English drama, or if they’re even prepared for the consequences of presenting Shakespeare in their own way.
“…the personal and the historical, the comic and the angry propels THE AFRICAN COMPANY…theatrical and social concerns entwine with powerful resonances to today…Mr. Brown is a writer with a distinct voice and a powerful story to tell.” —Washington Post.
“What makes THE AFRICAN COMPANY…so effective is the way in which the playwright not only suggests the New York of 1821, and the particular circumstances of “freed” blacks in that era, but even…suggests their angers, concerns and tensions.” —New York Post.
AUDIENCE NOTE: The March 15th performance has been designated as a BLACK OUT NIGHT! Black Out Night is a purposeful creation of an environment in which Black-identifying audience members can come together and experience a performance in community. Non-Black-identifying patrons have the option to attend or to select a different performance.

Twelfth Night
or What You Will
April 5 – April 27
(Previews April 3 & 4)
A shipwreck, separated identical twins, mistaken identities, romance, revenge and one pair of yellow stockings…welcome to Orsino’s court and the zany world of Illyria.
From Our Review of the Tavern's 2020 Production:
Beginning with a song, a storm, a shipwreck, we’re very elegantly cast upon the Illyrian shore with Viola, newly mourning her lost twin brother, vowing to make her way in a man’s world, even to the point of dressing as a man, Cesario, soon to be servant to the Count Orsino, he of the lovelorn sighs and manly physique. Viola’s heart is soon enrapt and wrapped like a trussed hart.
But Orsino’s heart is set on Olivia, proud Countess, Olivia who has forsworn the company of men, as she mourns her own lost brother. Orsino engages Cesario (which is to say Viola) to act as liaison, carrying his purple prose to the indifferent Countess, Olivia who finds the sight of Cesario most pleasing indeed (dare I say arousing?).
Meanwhile, Olivia’s cousin, Sir Toby Belch revels in her house with his foppish friend Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Olivia’s maid Maria, and the house jester Feste to the scorn of Malvolio, a sneering prig of a steward (who no doubt wears his chain of office even to bathe, if ever dirt would deign to pollute his perfect self).
Did I happen to mention that Viola’s twin brother, Sebastian, also survived the shipwreck, and is wandering the ways of Illyria, in the company of Antonio, a pirate who saved him from the deadly seas and who likes him perhaps too much? Did I happen to mention that Sebastian and Cesario are dressed identically, and look remarkably alike? Do I need to mention the Comedy of Errors that ensues as plots, seductions, and japes are hatched?
I daresay, I do not.

Knowing that the widow’s wealth is now in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of the fortune, the stepchildren commit her to a sanatorium hoping to “bring her to her senses.” The self-seeking stepchildren are driven to distraction by their vain efforts to browbeat Mrs. Savage, but she preserves her equanimity and leads them on a merry chase. At last her friends conspire to get rid of her stepchildren, and through their simple belief in the justice of her cause, they enable Mrs. Savage to carry out her plans to establish a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams.

A Muscogee family gathers at the home of their matriarch, Lahoma, who is soon to pass over to the other world. As they arrive, a cascade of family tales burst forth. Tales full of ghosts, dreams, tricksters, visions, memories, wild ones who ran away and dutiful caretakers who stayed behind. In returning to their family home in the Muscogee Nation, three generations confront the challenge of celebrating Lahoma’s legacy while striving to honor her memory - and a new path forward.
This is a story of the humor, traditions, struggles, quirks and aspirations of the people whose words we speak every day yet know little about. Featuring a cast of Muscogee (Creek) actors, the Springer welcomes this region’s original citizens back to their ancestral lands for a dramatic Mvskoke homecoming.

Incarceration Plantation: The Musical
A Home Brew Series work in development
March 29, 2025 – 7 PM at 7 Stages – FREE
Incarceration Plantation: The Musical is a sister and brother’s creative journey, despite the walls that keep them apart. They reflect on more than 30 years of dealing with America’s prison system, its impact, and how systemic racism and the disproportionate sentencing of Black people perpetuates a form of modern slavery.
When Dorothy Bell was 14, her brother Roger Bell II committed a burglary, but was convicted for a murder that occurred after he left the scene. He was sentenced to three life terms after being convinced to take a plea deal. In 2020, he began sharing his poetry with Dorothy, and she helped him through the process of writing a book. Their continued communication and collaboration helped them get through some dark and terrifying times.
Inspired by classic musicals like The Wiz, Oklahoma and Mary Poppins, Dorothy adds a spoonful of sugar to make these stories more accessible. Dorothy explains “I am a singer, composer, musician and empath ready to sing the story out loud so that we can combat the narrative of fear and division through the power of art.” This story is about decades of incarceration, but it shines a light on the possibilities of hope and healing.
This production is part of 7 Stages’ Home Brew Series, a program that provides a platform and resources for works in development. While Home Brews offer support at any stage in the development process, this new production is in the seedling stage. This public sharing will offer audiences select new musical and movement compositions, letters between Dorothy and Roger, original poetry created behind bars and a sneak peak into the overall storyline.
