DEATH OF A SALESMAN
By Arthur Miller

John DeMita, director

A thrilling work of deep and revealing beauty that remains one of the most profound classic dramas of the American theatre. The story revolves around the last days of Willy Loman, an aging salesman who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic revelations we discover how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him. Death of a Salesman received a Pulitzer Prize in 1949 along with a Tony Award for Best Play.

A great show for the entire family, this highly original and theatrical Caribbean adaptation of Rosa Guys’ book My Love, My Love or The Peasant Girl garnered eight Tony nominations for its Broadway run, including Best Musical, Book and Score. In almost non-stop song and dance, the show tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest to test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and death.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
By William Shakespear
Carolyn Almos
, director

The play revolves around the adventures of four young lovers, a group of amateur actors and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest. The story takes place in Midsummer and is a complex farce featuring Hermia & Lysander and Helena & Demetrius. Their romantic intrigues are confused and complicated still further by entering the forest where Oberon, the King of the Fairies and his Queen, Titania, preside. Puck (or Robin Goodfellow) is a major character who is full of mischief and tricks. Other visitors to the enchanted forest include Bottom the weaver and his friends Snug, Snout, Quince and Flute the amateur dramatists who want to rehearse their terrible but hilarious version of the play Pyramus and Thisbe.
Mature subject matter and language.
