In a world where control is currency and power fuels division, Romeo and Juliet remains fiercely relevant. Theatre B and Theatre NDSU join forces to present Shakespeare’s iconic tale of forbidden love, set against a backdrop of clashing families entrenched in political ambition. As Verona’s youth dream of connection beyond the lines drawn by their elders, this production asks: what is the cost of love in a time of control? Urgent and intimate, Romeo and Juliet reminds us how easily generations can repeat their mistakes—and how powerful the choice to love can be.

BIRTHDAY CANDLES

by Noah Haidle

December 5th – 21st

ASL & Sunday Salon Dec. 14

Directed by Jean Wilhelmi

Ernestine Ashworth spends her 17th birthday agonizing over her insignificance in the universe. Soon it’s her 18th. Then her 41st. Her 70th. Her 101st. In Birthday Candles, a century of life passes in a poetic instant—five generations, infinite dreams, and one birthday cake baked again and again in the same kitchen. This poignant and funny Broadway hit invites audiences to witness the extraordinary in the everyday, tracing the highlights, heartbreaks, and quiet wonders that make up one woman’s ordinary life. It’s a story about how one moment—one ritual—can echo through time, shaping a family’s mythology for generations. What begins as a simple birthday becomes a guiding star, illuminating each act of defiance, each heartbreak, and each quiet hope for something better. In just 90 minutes, Birthday Candles reminds us that ordinary lives become extraordinary through the choices we make—and the love we dare to hold on to.

PERFECT ARRANGEMENT

by Topher Payne

February 20th – March 8th

ASL & Sunday Salon March 1st

Directed by Matthew Dryburgh

It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.

EVERY BRILLIANT THING

by Duncan MacMillan with Jonny Donahue

May 1st – 17th

Sunday Salon May 10th & ASL May 17th

Directed by Scott Ecker

Every Brilliant Thing is a powerful, heartwarming, and surprisingly funny play about the lengths we go to for those we love—and the small, beautiful moments that make life worth living. The story begins when a 7-year-old’s mother attempts suicide, prompting the child to start a list of everything brilliant in the world. As the years unfold—through adolescence, love, loss, marriage, and grief—the list grows, abandoned and revived, eventually reaching one million entries. Blending comedy, improvisation, and intimate audience interaction, this immersive experience invites us to walk alongside one individual navigating the shadow of a parent’s mental illness while learning to face their own. Moving and life-affirming, Every Brilliant Thing reminds us that even in our darkest moments, hope can be found in life’s smallest miracles.
