Trouble in Tahiti

October 8 @ 7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Stage One Theatre

Discover the sharp wit and striking honesty of TROUBLE IN TAHITI, a bold and intimate work by Leonard Bernstein. Set in the picture-perfect suburbs of 1950s America, this one-act opera peels back the glossy façade of domestic bliss to reveal the quiet frustrations and emotional distance within a seemingly ideal marriage.

At the center are Sam and Dinah, a couple struggling to connect amid the pressures of modern life, their conversations missing each other at every turn. Meanwhile, a bright, jazzy vocal trio cheerfully sells a dream of happiness and harmony, offering a stark contrast to the loneliness unfolding beneath the surface. Blending satire, sophistication, and a richly expressive score, TROUBLE IN TAHITI invites audiences to look closer at what it really means to have it all—and what happens when something vital is missing.

These Shining Lives

November 21 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Stage One Theatre

Experience the moving and deeply human story of THESE SHINING LIVES by Melanie Marnich, a powerful play inspired by true events. Set in the 1920s, it follows Catherine Donohue, a spirited young woman who takes a job painting watch dials at a factory, doing work that promises independence and camaraderie, but comes at a devastating cost.

As Catherine and her fellow workers form friendships and find pride in their craft, they remain unaware of the danger they face from exposure to radium. When the truth begins to emerge, Catherine is forced to confront both the limits placed on her life and the strength within herself. These Shining Lives illuminates the enduring impact of ordinary women who chose to stand up and shine.

The Light in the Piazza

November 21 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Main Hall Theatre, Staten Island, 10301

Love needs no translation in THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA. A sweeping romance set against the sun-drenched beauty of Florence, Italy, the musical follows American tourist Margaret Johnson and her daughter Clara as they encounter the charming, young Fabrizio. As a whirlwind romance unfolds, the families must navigate the space between understanding and trust, protection and possibility. Filled with soaring, operatic melodies and breathtaking imagery, THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA becomes a celebration of connection in its purest form, proving that the most important things we say aren’t with words.
