Marcus Shields directs a stellar cast of Juilliard opera students in Giuseppe Verdi’s raucous comic capstone, reimagined in swinging 1970s Britain. Based on Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry IV, the opera follows the buffoonish and rotund knight Falstaff attempting to get rich through the seduction of multiple married women. What could go wrong? Don’t miss this chance to laugh at and with Shakespeare’s loveable rogue.

Juilliard Opera Presents Verdi’s "Falstaff"

The Juilliard School

n this hallucination of a one-person show, a genderqueer teen who goes missing and their gay detective father come face-to-face with the supernatural and consciousness-devouring Theda Bara, the real-life vamp and silent film star of the 1910s. On Set with Theda Bara is part gothic coming-of-age story and part campy melodrama about identity consumption and the horror of not knowing who you are.

On Set with Theda Bara

The Brick

Is she insane? Or just pretending? This psychological drama follows trailblazing reporter Nellie Bly through her internment at Blackwell's Asylum, exposing, as Bly did, notions of madness and societal biases against women.
