Schedule of events
- February 25: The Very Extraordinary Mr. Law: A Scottish gambler arrives at Versailles with a trick he says will make everyone rich: turn paper into gold. John Law’s scheme to replace coins with paper money is a wild success until it turns into the world’s first stock market crash, and he barely escapes with his life. Law and his partner, the flamboyant younger brother of Louis XIV, then flee to New Orleans, where they are captured by a runaway slave and her gang of buccaneers. This comedy reveals the origin of the word “millionaire” and how America’s most improvised city was founded on a gamble.
- March 8: A.D. 16 - A New Musical: A.D. 16 tells the story of what happens when teenage Mary Magdalene falls in love with the boy next door: teenage Jesus. Featuring an R&B score that evokes the best of TLC, En Vogue, Prince, and more, this comedic coming-of-age story asks the question: what if your first crush really WAS perfect?
