Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.

When You Speak Love: Kurt Weill in Songs & Letters
September 18th

A Cabaret featuring Michelle Jasso & Andrew Ceglio.
German-born American composer Kurt Weill reenvisioned what theatre could be, both in terms of musical form and satirical content. His “epic theatre” exploits with fellow artistic revolutionary Bertolt Brecht earned them both a place on the Gestapo’s hit list, forcing Weill to flee Germany for Paris in 1933. After two years in exile there, he and his wife and artistic muse - famed performer Lotte Lenya - would ultimately land in New York City in 1935, where Weill was quickly influenced by Broadway and jazz. Best known for his collaborations with Brecht, Weill also collaborated with many greats of Broadway’s Golden Age: Ira Gershwin, Alan Jay Lerner, and Ogden Nash, to name a few. Highly prolific throughout his career, Weill wrote both music and letters every day of his adult life. Nearly 650 total pieces of correspondence survive - approximately 400 between Weill and Lenya. Through Weill’s own words and music, award-winning performers Michelle Jasso and Andrew Ceglio present their own musical love letter to Weill’s monumental opus.

This year for our annual Theatricum Cabaret we are proud to celebrate the legacy of Joni Mitchell, recognizing her extraordinary contributions to music, culture, and society. Joni Mitchell’s work transcends genre, blending folk, jazz, and pop with deeply personal and poetic storytelling that has resonated across generations. As a pioneer for women in the music industry, Joni Mitchell shattered barriers and redefined the role of the singer-songwriter, influencing countless artists while remaining uniquely her own. Her ability to capture the complexities of the human experience—from love and loss to social and environmental consciousness—makes her a timeless voice in both music and cultural history. By uplifting her music, our company honors her artistry, celebrates her enduring influence, and invites our audiences to experience the depth and beauty of her unparalleled legacy in a magical outdoor theatrical setting.
