September 7 – 30, 2018
Written by Joe Calarco
Directed by Jennifer M. Spieler
A rigid boys boarding school becomes the setting for a powerful and unorthdox reenactment of Shakespeare’s immortal tale of doomed lovers breaking tradition, seeking forbidden desires, and painfully coming of age. This high-voltage, all-male adaptation of Romeo and Juliet becomes a provocative examination of adolescents declaring war on all the “thou shalt nots” in their stifling world.
“Hot-blooded … wrenching … [it] pulsates with an adolescent abandon and electricity of which Romeo might approve.”
–The New York Times
October 19 – November 18, 2018
Book by Joe Masteroff, Music by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed by Eric C. Stein
“There was a cabaret, and there was a Master of Ceremonies, and there was a city called Berlin, in a country called Germany … and it was the end of the world.” This legendary Tony and Oscar winning musical, both sensuous and exhilarating, has roused audiences for the past 50 years with its unforgettable score and explosive depiction of a nation on the brink of self-destruction.
“One of the most remarkable and ground-breaking shows in the history of American musical theatre!”
–Variety
January 11 – February 10, 2019
Written by Agatha Christie
Directed by Eric C. Stein
Ten seeming strangers with suspicious pasts are brought together on a remote island that turns into a deathtrap where an unknown assassin executes them one by one. The Queen of Mystery (whose The Mousetrap thrilled Vagabond Players’ audiences five seasons ago) once again delivers a compelling puzzle with enough twists and turns to keep you gripped in your seat until the very, very end.
“A perfect combination of thriller and detective story … This is Christie’s greatest technical achievement.”
–The Guardian
March 1 – 24, 2019
Written by Beth Henley
Directed by Anne Hammontree
The McGrath sisters are all having a bad day: Meg is out of the loony bin, Lenny is celebrating her 30th birthday alone in the kitchen, and Babe has just shot her husband. In Beth Henley’s acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy you’ll meet a memorable family of women who will rock you with laughter, even if you should be crying.
“All the pieces came together to create a funny and touching play about sisterhood, family, and the deep ties that bind.”

Written by Noél Coward
Directed by Steve Goldklang
A mystery writer’s seemingly happy home life with his second wife is uproariously disrupted when his first wife is inadvertently summoned back from the spirit world during a disastrous séance. Coward’s sublimely entertaining, otherworldly comedy is a spook-tacular laugh-filled masterpiece.
“There’s a reason Blithe Spirit has endured: it’s almost a perfect comedy.”
–Minneapolis Star Tribune
