"The stories in our new season may appear very different, but they share a common idea: people are capable of becoming so much more than the world expects of them,” says Artistic Director David Connolly. “A miner’s son becomes a dancer. A child believed unreachable discovers language. Strangers become a community. Students become rock stars. New friendships, second chances and unexpected possibilities emerge at every age. It’s a season of surprising transformations, unlikely connections, and thrilling discoveries that invites audiences to laugh, look again, reach further, and expect the unexpected."
