Middletown

“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.’” A wonderful combination of comedy and drama, this relatable and heartfelt new play celebrates life through the eyes of two couples who’ve been friends for 33 years. Starting with their children’s first day of kindergarten, and continuing through shared dinners, vacations, heartbreaks and celebrations, both couples reminisce about the highs, lows and in-betweens of their shared experiences, and remind us how friends make the good times better and the hard times easier. See it with your friends.

Pacifica Quartet

Recognized for its virtuosity, exuberant performance style and often-daring repertory choices, over the past twenty-five years the Pacifica Quartet has achieved international recognition as one of the finest chamber ensembles performing today. Their program of thoughtfully selected works features string quartets written by American female composers during the ratification of the 19th Amendment, a masterpiece written by a pioneering female composer during the height of the pro-suffrage sentiment and a new work commissioned by the quartet from one of the most prominent female composers of our time. These works – representing women across continents and eras – cover a vast territory of different thoughts, styles, and perspectives.
