Critical Acclaim
“[Nicholas] is a well-honed, powerfully presented play that draws us to the beliefs and behaviors that lie at the core of the frenzied holiday season we know today. It is both stirring and entertaining–the latter attributable to excellent staging, solid performances, bits of eye-winking contemporary references that sprinkle humor throughout, and beautiful music…”

New Year 2024
THE LIVING WATER
Lent: February 23 – March 27
The Living Water is a beautiful, modern dramatization of the Biblical stories of the Samaritan Woman, the Blind Beggar, and Lazarus (traditionally known as the “Scrutiny” gospels.) This play was first presented and workshopped under the title The Scrutinies for our COR Patrons back in March of 2021.
Newly revised and expanded under a new title, this play — filled with original music & songs and gripping multimedia elements — draws audiences of all ages into a deeper experience of the Lenten season through a profound and entertaining reflection on the complexities of the human condition in light of Divine Love.
Don’t celebrate Lent? That’s okay! This play is still for you. It artfully explores and celebrates timeless truths that resonate with every human heart.
Recommended Age: 4 and up. Please note our minimum 4-year-old age limit.
Childcare Option: We’re offering affordable, onsite childcare for all Saturday matinee performances in Season 10, so don’t let babysitting get in the way of your next trip to the theatre!
Spring 2024
THE LILIES OF THE FIELD
Spring: April 26 – May 26
Adapted by F. Andrew Leslie from the novel by William E. Barrett
A literary and cinematic classic, The Lilies of the Field tells the story of an itinerant African American worker in the early 1960s who encounters a small group of East German nuns in a parched valley of the American Southwest. An Army vet and a Baptist, Homer Smith offers to help the struggling Roman Catholic nuns build a fence. The problem? They can’t afford to pay him. But the Mother Superior has something much bigger in mind. She believes Homer was sent to them by God to build a chapel.
In 1963, Sidney Poitier became the first-ever black man to receive the Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Homer Smith in the highly acclaimed film. In 2020, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
Recommended Age: 4 and up. Please note our minimum 4-year-old age limit.

DANTE’S INFERNO
Extended to October 30
One of the greatest masterpieces of all time, Dante Alighieri’s Inferno marks the first of his 3-part Divine Comedy poetic trilogy. Inferno tells the harrowing story of a man’s journey through the infinite torment of Hell in his search for Paradise. It’s an inherently dramatic story, describing in vivid detail Dante’s visit to the lower realms of the netherworld, guided by the poet Virgil. He passes through the giant gates with their prophetic inscription: Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here, and through the nine circles of Hell, but all is not lost. Dante’s Inferno is an intense and moving human drama that ultimately shows the way of an individual soul from sin to redemption.
Adapted for the stage by Artistic Director Jeremy Stanbary, from the translation by John Ciardi.
