23/24 SEASON
NOISES OFF by Michael Frayn
September 20–October 8
Directed by Jennifer Childs
One of the most popular comedies of all time, this Tony Award®–winning play is an ingenious backstage farce. A theater director must prevent his motley company of actors and an overworked crew from sabotaging his production with their off-stage shenanigans—and on-stage bedlam! Full of shocking surprises and gut-busting humor, Noises Off “voyages to the outer limits of hilarity,” says The New York Times.
KINGS OF HARLEM by Layon Gray
October 25–November 12
Directed by Layon Gray
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first Black-owned, all-Black professional basketball team in history, Kings Of Harlem is the story of seven men who overcame adversity to win more than 2,000 games. Formed five years before the Harlem Globetrotters, the New York “Harlem” Rens compiled one of the most impressive winning streaks in basketball history and would change the way the game is played forever. From the writer/director of Black Angels Over Tuskegee, this production transforms DTC’s stage into a full basketball court!

Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson

Hailed as a grownup prequel to Peter Pan, this Tony Award®–winning, swashbuckling production explores the Neverland you never knew. Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old legend of Peter Pan with a wildly theatrical reboot of how a nameless orphan came to be The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. A dozen brilliant actors play more than 100 unforgettable characters, employing ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination. “SENSATIONAL! Showbiz at its most brazenly infectious,” says The New York Times.
