Picture
​by James Goldman

The Lion in Winter is presented by special arrangement
with Samuel French
Directed by Richard Redman

ALTERNATE LOCATION: First Christian Church
1001 Chester Road, Lansing​

​

November 12, 13*, 19 & 20*, 2021
​*Matinee

Betrayal, treachery, and a knife fight: it’s just another Christmas for the royal family! King Henry throws a Christmas feast for the newly
crowned King of France. Also in attendance are Henry’s three plotting sons, each eager to take the throne, and Henry’s manipulative
wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, newly released from house arrest. Even though they need to appear a happy family for the King of France,
this doesn’t stop each of them from secretly plotting to take the others down. While the three sons backstab and squabble to take their place in history, Eleanor and Henry use their offspring as pawns against each other in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

“Marvelously articulate language, with humor that bristles and burns.”
— Los Angeles Times

“Disarmingly humane with loads of heart.”
— The Chicago Critic

West Side Story
June 24-26* 2022
​Rain date June 27th

Young lovers caught between warring street gangs and their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence, and prejudice, make West Side Story one of the most heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.  Laurents' book remains powerful, poignant, and timely and the songs by Bernstein and Sondheim are widely regarded as among the best ever written (Somewhere, Tonight, Maria).  This landmark musical takes to the streets of downtown Lansing in partnership with Downtown Lansing, Inc.
