An Encore Musical

The highlight of last season's All About Eve Festival returns for one performance only!

Stepping Into Fire (musical) by Jonathan Brielle and Tom Coash. Set on a high wire practice platform, a tightrope walker (Jane Bruce) confronts her fears and tries to regain her balance on the wire two days after the tragic death of her partner/husband. If she is to emulate her heroes and continue to work the high wire, she must take that first step back onto the wire.


Michael Irvin Pollard stars in Kate McLeod's By The Light, The heartfelt story of  Topsy, the Asian elephant, who was a victim of the dark underbelly of circus life. Based on a true story. Directed by Peter Zazzali.




Maximilian the Magnificent

A daring trapeze artist, a drunken clown, two ICE agents, and a man surrounded by five hungry lions. Welcome to the greatest show in the tri-state area! Written by L.H. Grant, directed by Zoya Kachadurian, and starring David Friedlander, Thomas Grube, Juliet Kapanjie, and Cathryn Wake.
