The many versions of Patrick Page, dubbed “The villain of Broadway” by Playbill. Who’s your favorite foe he’s ever played? Let us guess—could it be Hades in Hadestown?

In his latest work, Patrick turns his attention to the twisted motivation and hidden humanity at the heart of Shakespeare’s greatest villains.

Three decades of Modlin Arts Presents programming have made clear one conviction: the performing arts are one of the most honest instruments for confronting what it means to be human. Rather than offering an escape from reality, our programming this season reserves a seat for the current state of things, the human condition, composers of the American experience, and jazz, to name a few. Featuring returning favorites, long-time collaborators, and visionary works, this season captures the thrill of live performance with a diverse array of talent and disciplines.

Mix and match your own series of performances during the general public subscription package sale now to receive discounts, priority seating, and flexible exchanges! Be sure to mark your calendars for August 3 when individual tickets go on sale.

A first-year student picking up a guitar because a music legend made learning it sound ordinary. A dancer dancing on the end of a quarter note. A conversation becoming a libretto backed by a symphony. These are the kinds of outcomes Richmond’s model is designed to produce — and why the artists buy in. Creativity is both a method and a mindset and, at Richmond, central to learning.

Extended time with guest artists offers students a meaningful opportunity for engagement with the arts, creativity, and possibility.
