Love Them First

Theater Latte Da

The roots of resistance and resilience run deep in three generations of a Black family grappling with inequality, violence and oppression. This intimate new musical, performed by four actors in tour de force performances asks us to contemplate the cycle of racism in America and how we might commit to creating real change.

We Shall Someday

Business woman and matchmaker extraordinaire Dolly Levi is determined to make everyone’s lives richer and happier – including her own! Regina Marie Williams stars as Dolly in Kelli Foster Warder’s bold new production of this beloved musical comedy, featuring some of American musical theater’s most memorable songs including “Before the Parade Passes By,” “Put on Your Sunday Clothes,” “Ribbons Down My Back,” and “Hello, Dolly!”

Hello, Dolly!

This Tony Award-nominated musical inspired by the beloved films takes us on a journey to the past. Iconic songs like “Once Upon a December”, “Learn to Do It”, and “Journey to the Past” transport us from the darkness of Soviet Russia to the opulence of Paris in the ‘20s, as Anya and new friends Dmitry, a handsome conman, and Vlad, a bumbling ex-aristocrat, hatch a plan to pass her off as Grand Duchess Anastasia to her grandmother, the Dowager Empress. But could it be that Anya really is the long-lost Romanov?
