Our Founder’s Grand Finale Season

Dear Friends,
Being a part of the creation and development of Rubicon Theatre Company has been the great honor and joy of my life. As our brilliant board recruits new leadership to take the company to the next level of artistry and impact, I’m thrilled to announce Crossroads: Moments That Can Change Everything, a grand finale season that I hope will be the pinnacle of my tenure here at Rubicon. Join us, won’t you?
We kick off with the explosive energy of Million Dollar Quartet – set on a legendary night when Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins come together at Sun Records and rock ’n’ roll is born. From there, we take a theatrical journey to an enchanting moonlit forest with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where young lovers are transformed through magic and mischief. Our winter offering The 39 Steps is a madcap comic thriller in which a chance encounter with a stranger leads to a whirlwind of split-second decisions and surprising alliances.
Somebody to Love, a new ‘70’s rock musical, follows four college friends who pledge to stay connected and change the world — only to discover that life, love, and dreams don’t always follow the plan. And in Eleanor, one of the most powerful women in American history steps out of the shadows and reshapes a nation.
Our season closes with my favorite musical of all time, the soaring Tony Award-winning epic Ragtime, where the hopes and hardships of three American families intersect at a pivotal moment in history.
Don’t miss this moment to subscribe, because, as I’ve experienced during 27 miraculous years at Rubicon – one choice, one show, one season can change everything.
