Synopsis: What is the cost when we sacrifice truth for success? Can radical love be pious, or merely provocative? Does every religion sell God for a price? Follow the true story of a play, a playwright, and a plucky troupe of Yiddish theater artists from 1906 Warsaw to 1923 Broadway, from risky experiment to global sensation—and ultimately shattering scandal. The latest hit from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of A Civil War Christmas, The Baltimore Waltz, and How I Learned to Drive, this highly acclaimed and award-winning drama pays homage to artists ahead of their time and doomed to pay the price.

Synopsis: It’s New York in 1933, where anything goes aboard the S.S. American bound for England! Music, dance, laughs, and the age-old tale of Boy Meets Girl, Anything Goes is a hilarious shipboard romp, wrapped around one of Cole Porter’s most magical scores. It’s Delightful, Delicious, and De-Lovely.

5. ‘Silent’ at Solas Nua.
“Kinevane is an extremely engaging performer who lures the audience in with his quirkiness and then lays some heavy reality on them.” – Elle Marie Sullivan.
READ review.
Synopsis: Silent is the touching and challenging story of homeless McGoldrig, who once had splendid things. But he has lost it all – including his mind. He now dives into the wonderful wounds of his past through the romantic world of Rudolph Valentino. Dare to laugh at despair, and gasp at redemption is the brave, beautiful production for which Fishamble and Pat Kinevane won an Olivier Award for in 2016.
