In Shakespeare's brilliant, brutal, and innovative play, England's royal cousins play a deadly game of thrones. The House of Lancaster, led by the fearsome Queen Margaret, plots revenge and counter-revenge against the House of York, led by Richard and his sons: Edward (who becomes King Edward IV), George, and Richard Duke of Gloucester (who will become King Richard III). Patricide, filicide, regicide, extreme cruelty, and fierce love: Shakespeare holds nothing back in the thrilling final chapter in the life of King Henry VI.

The King of Navarre and his three "schoolmates" are ripe for an education in love from the Princess of France and her three ladies. Joining the lovers is a gloriously goofy troupe of clowns, including the love-warrior Don Armando and the lust-sick rogue Costard, who ardently pursue the affections of a winsome country made – and who perform an unforgettable pageant for the royals. This giddy and extravagant romantic comedy is Shakespeare's most exuberant wordfest – a joyful carnival of love, loss, and hope.

While the villainous Don John devises a scheme to shatter the nuptials of Claudio and Hero, the young lovers conspire to trick the utterly charming pair, Beatrice and Benedick, into admitting their much-denied love. In this powerful comedy full of effervescent wit, Shakespeare gives us the joy of love won and the ache of love lost. He makes us laugh, breaks our hearts, and then magically puts them back together again.

Take part in the adventure and embrace the endless possibilities of imagination in this action-packed coming-of-age prequel to Peter Pan. The five-time Tony-winning Broadway hit, ideally suited to the signature ASC style, brings to life the heart-warming and richly imaginative story of how Neverland and Peter Pan came to life. Filled with music, mermaids, a celestial treasure, a spunky leading lady, a band of wacky pirates, an island crawling with intrigue, and one absurdly wicked Captain, Peter and the Starcatcher will make you fly.
