The joint is jumpin'! The heart of 1930s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that won the Tony Award for Best Musical. Featuring the songs of Fats Waller and a powerhouse cast, this beloved show takes you on an unforgettable tour through the golden age of the Cotton Club, honky-tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties and more, where stride piano players strut their stuff and red hot mamas belt out hit after hit. Featuring such beloved tunes as "Honeysuckle Rose," "Black and Blue" and the inimitable title song.

Presented on the main stage at the Weston Playhouse.

Dangerous, funny, sexy and ever-surprising, this modern classic is told backwards, as we trace the seven-year affair between a man and a woman who happen to be married to other people. Bit by bit, we piece together what happened, what didn't happen and the volumes that are spoken in Pinter's trademark pauses. Marriage, passion, trust, loss so much can happen in a relationship.

Presented on the main stage at the Weston Playhouse.

Comedy tonight! Fast-paced, furiously funny and totally irreverent, this classic Broadway show is lots of things, but one thing for sure: the funniest musical ever written. Featuring a score by the great Stephen Sondheim and a book by the unmatchable Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, A Funny Thing is the story of a crafty slave named Pseudolus who's out to win the hand of a beautiful courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero. Let's just say things don't go as planned. Come prepared to laugh all the way to the forum.

You know him as the author of the classic children's book The Little Prince. But this dazzling new musical by a fast-rising composing team shows you a whole other side of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, taking you inside his world, his imagination, his dreams. Exploring his relationship with his brother, his tempestuous marriage and the conflict between his career as an aviator and his success as an author, Saint-Ex will open you up to a whole new horizon.

Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, and of course Willy Wonka and Charlie Bucket they all come to life in this delightful adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl story.

Meet the greatest soprano who never was. Based on a real-life story, this truly original comedy is about Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York socialite and tone-deaf diva who thought she had the pipes to take the concert world by storm. Her wry accompanist chronicles Florence's unlikely rise to cult status, culminating in a sold-out Carnegie Hall performance. Wickedly funny and unexpectedly moving, Souvenir is a thoughtful meditation on the ways we see ourselves and the unpredictable nature of friendship.

Note: Souvenir is presented at Weston's "OtherStages" at the Weston Rod & Gun Club, 1 mile north of the Playhouse.

Direct from New York City, where it earned raves, this astute new play by the author of Circle Mirror Transformation is about slackers, secrets and the bonds we form to make it through the day. Set in the messy backyard of a rundown coffeehouse in Vermont, The Aliens follows two guys who hang out there, trying to figure out what to do next. When a young coffeehouse employee unwittingly enters their fold, they begin to open up in most surprising ways. The New York Times hailed the play as "extraordinarily beautiful."

Note: The Aliens is presented at Weston's "OtherStages" at the Weston Rod & Gun Club, 1 mile north of the Playhouse.
