James Ijames’ Pulitzer Prize-winning reinvention of Hamlet brings Shakespeare’s classic into the modern South with humor, heart, and barbecue. Juicy, a young black man, grapples with his father’s ghost, family expectations, and the cycle of violence that haunts them all. Will he seek revenge or carve out a new path?

Disguised as a nun, she shakes up the quiet church community and transforms its struggling choir into a sensation. Sister Act is a joyful, high-energy musical about friendship, faith, and the power of finding your own voice.

Originally developed through the Ingram New Works Project at Nashville Repertory Theatre, Blood Sucking Leech is a sharp, witty examination of connection, control, and the monsters we create.
