Peak Performances

What do you get when you toss together nine jugglers, 80 apples, and four crockery sets? “Smashed,” a tea party you’ll never forget. Nine well-dressed, perfectly respectable young people take the stage and, under the guise of a quaint afternoon tea, engage in the dark art of juggling. Their virtuosic blend of skills, precision, and theatricality will leave you breathless.

Raphaëlle Boitel began her career as a young girl when she and her family ran away to join the circus. A mesmerizing contortionist and aerialist, Ben Brantley of The New York Times called her “truly ravishing.” In her new work, “When Angels Fall,” her agile, athletic performers create a rugged, ethereal dreamscape at the crossroads of circus, dance, theater, and cinema.

This ultimate musical ‘whodunit’ is a madcap romp through an English music hall company’s version of Dickens’ great unfinished novel. A rollicking comedy of murder, intrigue, hidden identity, dangerous attraction, and the hunger every actor has to be at center stage, this rule-breaking show allows the audience to choose the story’s outcome at every performance!

Blackmail, scandal, and romantic intrigue threaten the domestic tranquility of an ambitious politician in Oscar Wilde’s 1895 social satire. A masterful blend of wit and high stakes drama, An Ideal Husband feels remarkably contemporary as it examines the corrupt sources of great wealth and the influence of money on political power.
