Patrons who join us for HUMAN MUSEUM (only two more chances!) will get early info on our 2027 season. It's an exciting one, including a commission from one of our favorite past playwrights and the second North American production of a play by a major Irish playwright.

"The Human Museum is absolutely captivating: Not only is the plot
thought-provoking and highly entertaining,
but the acting is superb and completely engrossing.
