Harper Joy Theatre presents, Doubt: A Parable, an American Drama telling the story of a fictional Catholic school. Tension between the progressive parish priest and the rigidly conservative and distrustful principal nun leads to a power struggle and doubts about moral character all around

Rhinoceros

October 24-27
Harper Joy Theatre
Tickets

Rhinoceros, by Eugene Ionesco, is a remarkable example of mid 20th Century Theater of the Absurd. Watch as one man experiences the difficulties of maintaining himself as those in his small town succumb to a wild transformation. This allegory explores the all too relevant topics of mob mentality, social conforming, and totalitarianism. The play critiques the ideologies that ravaged Europe and led to world wide war in the last century. 

Maz and Bricks

September 26-29
Harper Joy Theatre

Passionate and funny, Maz and Bricks will touch your heart as our talented senior performers portray two young people in Dublin who become unlikely friends throughout the course of a day. Maz is out to attend a 'Repeal the 8th' demonstration for Irish abortion rights, while Bricks is on his way to meet with the mother of his young child. As they interact they change each other in unexpected ways. Maz and Bricks has been described as powerful, timely, and unmissable, you do not want to miss our opening season show!
