Mercury Chamber Orchestra: Bach & Mendelssohn
Wednesday, October 28, 2026
7:30 p.m.
Eight strings ignite an evening of Bach and Mendelssohn featuring the intricacy of The Art of the Fugue, the radiancy from the Goldberg Variations, and the youthful brilliance of Mendelssohn's Octet.
Storytellers: Dakota Gray
Friday & Saturday, November 13-14, 2026
7:30 p.m.
This show reimagines Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray with a Y2K twist. Set in New York City's fashion scene from 2002-2012, the show follows a rising model who, under the influence of her ambitious publicist, makes a wish for eternal youth. As her career and lifestyle soar, her appearance remains flawless—while the hidden cost of her pleasure-filled life slowly corrupts her soul.
How does an industry that is so focused on aesthetics affect young women attempting to make a name for themselves? What is the cost of celebrity worship and vanity, and how does public appearance mask private morality?
