Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard

MCC Theatre - March 5 - 13, 2027

Acclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the worm’s-eye view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare’s play. In the great Tom Stoppard’s best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where reality and illusion are entwined, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.

Puffs or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic by Matt Cox

MCC Theatre - October 9 - 17, 2026 

For seven years, a certain boy wizard went to a certain wizard school and conquered evil—this, however, is not his story. Matt Cox’s wildly funny, fast-paced parody, Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, gives a fresh, heart-filled look at a familiar saga through the eyes of a lovable group of magic-school outsiders who just happened to be there, too. Perfect for diehard fantasy fans and anyone who has ever felt like a background character in someone else’s epic, this laugh-out-loud comedy proves you don't need to save the world to be a hero—you just need to try really, really hard. Grab your wands and prepare for an unforgettable night of theater celebrating the ultimate underdogs!
