Abigail/1702
By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Directed by Prof. Joseph Zettelmaier
In this tale of New England witchery, it is 10 years after the harrowing and tragic events of the Salem witch trials. Abigail Williams — the lead accuser who sent twenty people to their doom as a young girl — now lives under an assumed name on the outskirts of Boston, quietly striving to atone for her sins. When a handsome stranger arrives claiming to be a sailor in need, Abigail takes him in, and long-dormant passions awaken within her. Love starts to grow between the two—an unlikely flower cracking through salty earth. But their contentment is short-lived, for someone else is coming for Abigail, someone who has been looking for her since she danced in the weird woods of Salem. The Devil is demanding Abigail’s soul, and a debt will be paid — but first, Abigail must make peace with the woman she most wronged… – dramatists.com

Night Blooming
By Joseph Zettelmaier
Directed by Maryssa McNamara ‘22
Lily’s mother gave birth to her when she was 16 and abandoned her. At that same age, Lily gave birth to her own daughter and chose to raise her alone rather than let her experience the struggles Lily wrestled with all her life. In a touching journey of three generations, Lily and her family face hard secrets and harder truths against the backdrop of the American Southwest.

Macbeth
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Dr. Annissa Morgensen-Lindsay
Fight Choreography by Prof. Chloé Whiting Stevenson
Something wicked this way comes! With the prophecies of three witches, Macbeth’s desires to be King of Scotland leads him into a nightmarish world of evil, deceit, and murder.
