Framed with a musical score that is breathtakingly beautiful and as much a part of the story
as the plot itself, The Light in the Piazza is a musical like you have never seen before.
Set in the most romantic of cities, Florence, Italy,
The Light in the Piazza is a love story of a young American woman,
Clara Johnson, who, while on holiday, falls for a young Italian man, Fabrizio Naccarelli.
When Clara's mother Margaret learns of the affair, she opposes it for reasons that only
gradually become known to the audience. Unable to suppress the truth about her daughter,
Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara's future, but her own hopes as well.
Book by Craig Lucas

Renowned opera diva Maria Callas is teaching a master class in front of an audience and you have a first-rate ticket to the event! She's glamorous, larger than life and drop-dead funny.
Inspired by a series of master classes conducted by Callas at Julliard, Master Class is a riveting play that includes the beautiful arias that made Maria Callas a world renowned diva. What begins as a class becomes an intimate and revealing look into her life: we learn about Callas' tumultuous affair with Aristotle Onassis, her early days as an ugly duckling, the fierce hatred of her rivals, and the unforgiving press that savaged her at the beginning of her career. Master Class is a tribute to the dedication of a great singer and actress to her chosen art.
