By Dael Orlandersmith. In this lyrical and bittersweet love story, Alma and Eugene – united by an affection for the Monkees, Batman play-acting and running fast in the sticky Southern heat – grow from childhood playmates to teenage sweethearts to adult lovers. As they look to rise above generations of bitterness and struggle, will their love set them free? This Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, with its passionate and poetic language, explores whether prejudices of the past are destined to become the legacies of the future.

By Eric Simonson. The legendary coach comes home to Wisconsin in this post-Broadway Regional Premiere Production featuring Resident Acting Company Member Lee E. Ernst as the iconic Lombardi. Although football's Super Bowl trophy is named for him, few know the real story of Lombardi the man – his inspirations, his passions and his ability to drive people to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Exploring his relationship with his wife, Marie, and three of his legendary players – Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor and Dave Robinson – this family-friendly tribute takes you into the life and times of one of America's most inspirational and mercurial personalities.
