Ring of Fire is a celebration of the music of Johnny Cash. The musical leads the audience through
Johnny Cash’s hits as a semi-biographical story unfolds. The main character begins life in the cotton
fields of Arkansas, moves to Memphis to begin a music career, hits it big and marries the love of his
life. Five actor-musicians’ impassioned renditions of “I Walk the Line,” “Man in Black,” “Folsom Prison
Blues,” I’ve Been Everywhere,” and, of course “Ring of Fire” will have the audience singing these
songs long after they’ve left the theater.

At a truck stop sandwich shop, run by an ex-con named Clyde, we meet a crew of recently
incarcerated people who are the kitchen staff. They learn not just to make sandwiches on the menu,
but to find the art in sandwich making. They learn to express themselves creatively all while they
attempt to restart and reclaim their lives and find purpose and humanity in a world that is set up for
them to fail. Somehow even in this impossible situation, Nottage finds humor and hope in telling their
story.

A new and inventive re-telling of Bram Stoker’s classic story. This adaptation focuses first on the

Renfield’s exceptionally strange illness, Lucy’s sudden illness and Jonathan Harker’s return from
Transylvania. The mystery reveals that vampires aren’t a fantasy, and Count Dracula is a threat to them all. This new highly theatrical adaptation will bring the tension of this thriller with humanity and

“Both these and these,” the character Reuven reflects in Aaron Posner’s The Chosen. Adapted from
the novel by Chaim Potok, this play is about how two directly opposing ideas can exist together. Two
boys from two very different Jewish communities in 1940s Brooklyn, learning under the religious
instruction of their fathers, forge a friendship as they grow into adulthood. This piece is a heartfelt
exploration of Jewish culture and the human ability to reach out across difference.
NOTE: This is slated to be a co-production with Milwaukee Repertory Theatre which will originate at
MRT and is being cast by MRT.
