Tallgrass Gothic

Tallgrass Gothic starts Thursday!

A spare, haunting play based on the Jacobean tragedy The Changeling, Tallgrass Gothic takes place in the Great Plains, where Laura yearns to leave her hometown and escape her abusive husband. A lover appears to promise her a way out, but that path leads to a devastating climax. If you loved the gorgeous starkness of There Will Be Blood, this is your kind of play.

Thursday is a preview performance, and both Thursday and Saturday are pay-what-you-wish performances (rush tickets only, first-come, first-served). Note: these are the only pay-what-you-wish performances.

Friday is opening night—stay after the show for a little party!
