A CHRISTMAS CAROL

THE CRUCIBLE
By Arthur Miller
Directed by Lise Bruneau
February 12 - March 7
Arthur Miller’s Tony Award–winning, edge-of-your-seat drama is a compelling indictment of mass hysteria. In 1692 Salem, whispers of witchcraft orchestrate panic that unravels a small community. Neighbors turn against one another, and the only way to survive is to condemn someone else.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Megan Behm
April 23 - May 16
Shakespeare’s sparkling comic masterpiece returns to the CSC stage with sharp wit, irresistible chaos, and a romance that dances between delight and danger. With the war behind them, one couple races toward marriage while another keeps love at arm’s length, trading barbs instead of vows as eager schemers spin a web of mischief around them. Full of charm and energy, Much Ado About Nothing celebrates the joyful messiness of hard‑won love.

By William Shakespeare
Adapted and Directed by Séamus Miller

Filled with Irish folk music, this love-comedy follows rivals from Ireland to America. A dynamic celebration of love, immigration, and humanity performed under the stars that “crackles with wit and sings with an Irish lilt.”
