Set against the backdrop of the barren and rocky Irish seacoast, RIDERS TO THE SEA is a story of the struggle to survive in a harsh world where the sea has claimed the lives of all the men in one family, except for the last surviving son. This tragic story of loss and hardship is a testament to the strength and faith of the women who are left behind.
Suitable for family audiences ages 8 and up.

THE IMPRESARIO
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
English lyrics by Dory Previn
Feb. 28, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Live streamed event from Evelyn Smith Music Theatre
Performers will be in masks with social distancing.
In 1786 emperor Joseph II pitted Mozart’s sung and spoken singspiel against a new Italian opera by Antonio Salieri, each performed at opposing ends of the Orangerie at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Fitting it is, then, that this short comic opera deals with two rivaling divas and one cash-strapped producer trying to help everyone get along for the sake of art.
Suitable for all audiences.
Licensed by arrangement with Theodore Presser Company.
