One of Broadway's seldom produced masterpieces,  “ A Little Night Music” is sophisticated, literate and stylish, but also disarmingly warm, funny, charming and very human. Stephen Sondheim's most romantic and achingly beautiful score is written entirely in Ravel-inspired variations on the waltz and includes Sondheim's most popular song to date, the haunting "Send in the Clowns."

Friday 8:00pm - $19.50

Prelude to a Kiss

Terra Nova

Inukshuk Productions

at 6th @ Penn Theatre (Hillcrest)

An extraordinarily inventive play first presented by the Yale Repertory Theatre and then produced to national acclaim at the renowned Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles . Dealing with the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of Robert Falcon Scott, the play employs an ingenious free-form construction to capture the sweep—and personalities—crucial to this compelling study of heroism in the face of bitter failure. "[A]n impressive first work…" —The Hollywood Reporter. "[E]xplores the heart of courage in a white hell of adversity." —Time. "Mr. Tally is a most literate writer." —NY Times.
