“Save The Last Dance For Me” by Alessandro Sciarroni (Italy)
From Italian theatermaker Alessandro Sciarroni, recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance at the 2019 Venice Biennale, an inventive revival of the polka chinata, a nearly lost Bolognese courtship dance from the last century.

EAST OF BERLIN by Hannah Moscovitch
“Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.” – Psalm 79: 7-9. When the son of an escaped Nazi war criminal (still alive and living in Paraguay) and the American-born daughter of an Auschwitz survivor meet and fall in…
RUDE MECHANICS
Nope, despite the title, it’s NOT about grease monkeys in an upstate NY auto repair shop. Instead, Eric Hissom’s fast, funny, slyly anachronistic, and scarily relevant new comedy about the insanity of trying to create theatre in the midst of a plague (sound familiar?) takes place on a snowy January evening in 1612 London. A…

Molière’s Dom Juan – 7:30pm
A glittering and ferocious study of lust and power, Molière’s portrait of the libertine Dom Juan combines slapstick comedy with the taut psychology of a thriller. In this bold new adaptation, director Ashley Tata (whose digital production of Mad Forest astonished Fisher Center audiences in 2020) sets the story in a fantasy world where 17th-century…
Fourteen Funerals – Evenings
Strange things can happen when you go home again to a place you never really knew.
