A CHRISTMAS MEMORY
by Truman Capote
Directed by Michael Cooper
December 2026
Originally published in 1956, this poignant, heart-felt, modern day classic gently captures Mr. Capote’s richly detailed memories of his Depression-era, rural Alabama boyhood with his best friend – an eccentric, 60-something distant cousin with whom he baked fruitcakes each Christmas. The affecting simplicity of Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory speaks even louder today, making us realize just how chaotic our lives can be if we don’t hold on to some tether of family, love and tradition.
Tickets available soon.

THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM has its origins in a Brothers Grimm fairytale and was adapted by beloved writer Eudora Welty into a novella of the same name in 1942. It is a bawdy fairytale with book and lyrics by Alfred Uhry, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy, and a score by Robert Waldman. With one of the only genuine bluegrass scores ever heard in a Broadway musical, the toe-tapping, knee-slapping THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM combines themes of love, deception and adventure. Set in 18th century Mississippi, it is an irreverent, playful, and at times raunchy tribute to the con men, hucksters and charlatans that created our great nation — a Southern-fried Robin Hood tale of Jamie Lockhart, a dangerous, handsome, backwoods rogue who’s a gentleman by day and a bandit by night. When he falls for the beautiful daughter of the county’s wealthiest planter, his world is turned upside down. Throw in an evil stepmother who is intent on Rosamund’s demise, her pea-brained henchman and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have a high-energy mix of witty dialogue and rollicking barn dance.
