Rip-roaring fun for Shakespeare fans and haters alike.

When Jessica is cast as Hamlet, it sends her into an existential tailspin. How can she figure out "to be or not to be", when she can't even figure out herself?

Gypsy

Mainstage 4

The classic musical by Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne, and Stephen Sondheim, Suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee

The jewel of Broadway's Golden Age. “Let Me Entertain You,” “You’ll Never Get Away From Me” & “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” are just a few of the hits from this incomparable showbiz saga.

Due to the current state of the pandemic, TWS has put some additional safety measures in place.

For your upcoming performance, you will need to show proof of vaccination to enter the building and wear a properly fitted mask inside at all times. For those unable to be vaccinated, we require proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the performance start time, or a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken within 6 hours of the performance start time.

A CDC card (paper form or image on your phone) is the only proof of vaccination we will accept. Home tests are not accepted. Those unable to provide this proof will not be allowed to enter the building and will be offered the choice of an exchange or a refund.
