PERICLES by William Shakespeare
Directed by Joel Sass
May 29 – June 22

Somewhere between the craggy shores of tragedy and the loopy swells of comedy lies Pericles, the tale of a prince, his wife, and their daughter, all separated by the whims of fate (and the hands of evildoers). Acclaimed Minneapolis-based director Joel Sass makes his West Coast directorial debut with this wild fairy tale.

AN IDEAL HUSBAND by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Jonathon Moscone

Behind Wilde's trademark razor-sharp wit lies a profound observation of the illusions we use to deceive others and–more importantly–ourselves. Artistic Director Jonathan Moscone, fresh from his acclaimed production of Man and Superman, directs Wilde's timely comedy.
