THEATRE
October 6-9* & 13-16*
Fulton Hall, Black Box Theatre
8 p.m. & *2 p.m.

A great comedy of the Restoration, the play tells the story

of Horner, a notorious and lascivious man-about-town and
his ingenious scheme for the rampant and mass seduction
of the women of London society.
By spreading the false rumor of his own impotence, he
gains the sympathy of the husbands of the town and,
more importantly, free access to their wives. Meanwhile,
the newly married Pinchwife desperately attempts to keep
his nave country bride from the clutches of predatory
London bachelors. When she and Horner meet, events
spiral out of his control.

A spin-off of Lorraine Hansberrys A Raisin in the Sun,

this razor-sharp new satire takes a jab at race and real
estate in a fictional Chicago neighborhood. The play
begins in 1959 as a black family moves into a white
enclave. Act Two takes us back to the same house in
2009 as gentrification sets in and the roles are
reversed.

THEATRE

Fulton Hall, Black Box Theatre
8 p.m. & *2 p.m.

Berlin. 1930. The denizens of a tiny and tawdry nightclub

cling to the credo, 'In here, Life is Beautiful.' But outside the
forces of evil are rising from poverty and resentment to new
and terrifying strength. As the Kit Kat Club dances on into
the coming night, the world around them is poised for a
New Order. Based on the stories of Isherwood, this award
winning musical is both poignant and powerful.

Brahms' German Requiem Op. 45 for mixed chorus

and orchestra with soprano and baritone soloists is
unique compared to other Requiems of the 19th
century. Written between 1865-66 and 1868
shortly after his mother's death, in seven
movements, Brahms explores the themes of
patience, bliss, comfort and joy replacing sorrow,
and the resurrection using biblical texts specifically
chosen by the composer from the Old and New
Testaments and the Apocrypha from the Lutheran
Bible.
