Worlds collide as love, magic, and mischief intertwine in an enchanted forest outside Athens. Four young lovers flee into the woods, only to become pawns in a fairy feud between Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairies. Meanwhile, a group of bumbling tradesmen rehearse a play for the Duke's wedding, unaware they're about to be swept into the chaos. As spells go awry and identities blur, this timeless and beloved comedy explores the madness of love and the fine line between reality and illusion.

Sarah Ruhl's stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Orlando is a playful, poetic romp through time, gender, and identity. Spanning centuries, the story follows Orlando - a young nobleman who mysteriously transforms into a woman - as they navigate love, art, and self-discovery. With wit and theatrical flair, Ruhl brings Woolf's novel to life in a celebration of transformation, imagination, and fluidity.

The Drinking Bird
February 4-7, 2026
Location: W420
The Drinking Bird is an absurdist comedy that follows Bird. Bird works in quality assurance and over time the monotony of their job and life has cause Bird to become complacent, too complacent. The sky is the limit as they say and Bird is content on the ground. See, Bird no longer has desires or aspirations for anything. No desire to climb the corporate ladder or explore other career paths. They don’t cook, clean, or go out. Bird has no aspirations to do anything remotely productive, until they find themselves transported to their office, but everything is… off, the rooms, the people, the customers. Employees are getting punched, HR won’t stop talking about their romantic life is specifically vague detail, and the Boss is a judgemental sociopath. Everyone is either rude, invasive, or way too open about their personal lives and Bird can’t grasp any of it and doesn’t want to, until a revelation that things need to change. Bird needs to change.
