Fat Ham By James Ijames
A co-production with Virginia Stage Company Hamlet, but with more barbecue and less barbary. Fat Ham reimagines Shakespeare’s story of murder and revenge into what The New York Times calls “a hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy.” Juicy, a Black queer Southern kid, already has a lot on his plate when his father’s ghost appears, demanding vengeance. As generations clash during the family’s backyard barbecue, Juicy must confront the legacy of violence in which he has been raised and decide the man he wants to be in James Ijames’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play fresh from its Tony-nominated Broadway run. Mar. 1 - 23, 2025
Waitress Book by Jessie Nelson, Music and Lyrics by Sara Bareilles
Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker, finds herself stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. When a nearby baking contest offers her the chance of escape, and with support from her fellow waitresses, loyal customers, and an unexpected romance, Jenna begins to find the courage to take her long-abandoned dream off the shelf. Waitress, featuring the music of Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, celebrates the power of friendship, dreams, the family we choose, and the quality of a well-baked pie.

Dial M for Murder Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher; From the original by Frederick Knott
Hitchcock’s classic murder mystery is re-envisioned in Jeffrey Hatcher’s suspenseful, plot-twisting adaptation. Former writer Tony Wendice concocts a plan to murder his wealthy wife, Margot. When the deadly scheme goes awry, Margot, with the help of a sharp-witted detective, fights to clear her name and reveal the truth about her husband’s lethal intentions. With its exploration of greed, power, and manipulation, this clever, fast-paced reimagining adds additional layers to the iconic tale, making the question of “Will he get away with it?” even more thrilling.
