Paradise Blue
by Dominique Morisseau • May 25 @ 2 PM • Studio Theatre
Detroit, 1949. Welcome to Paradise, a jazz club that’s seen better days. Blue, the club’s trumpet-playing owner is ready to leave this town and his family demons behind. But his house band and his best girl have dreams of their own, so when hardboiled widow Silver enters the picture looking for some business and some pleasure, love, lust, and legacy collide in the fight for Paradise. Studio transforms the Victor Shargai theatre into a jazz club for Dominique Morisseau’s (Pipeline, Skeleton Crew) music-filled drama about resilience, self-preservation, and community.
A Wrinkle in Time: A New Musical
by Lauren Yee and Heather Christian • June 22 @ 2 PM • Arena Stage
A world-premiere musical of the classic young adult novel. Meg Murry’s father was experimenting with time travel and the fifth dimension when he mysteriously disappeared. Now, Meg, her friend Calvin, and her younger brother Charles Wallace must race to rescue him. Can they outwit the forces of evil they will encounter on their heart-stopping journey through space? Join Meg on this epic quest in an adventurous new musical adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s Newbery Medal-winning classic novel that will energize your spirit, expand your imagination, and inspire you to believe that love, friendship, and courage can conquer all.

Operation: UMW Theatre Road Trip
Date: April 26, 2025 — 6:00am
Location: The Golden Theatre, New York, NY
Price: $333 per person
Mission: A day trip to see the critically acclaimed musical . . .
Just like any UMW Theatre Road Trip, we will board the bus in Fredericksburg, VA at duPont Hall (home of Klein Theatre) and travel to the theatre! We will depart at exactly 6:00am and begin the trip to New York City with one break at the halfway point. The bus will drop us off at the Marriott Marquis, Times Square and, time permitting, everyone will be given some time to explore and get lunch on your own before meeting at The Golden Theatre at 1:30pm for a 2:00pm curtain! After the show, there will be a little time for further exploring and getting dinner before boarding the bus back at the Marriott Marquis at 6:30pm for the trip back to Fredericksburg.
