About the productions

“Pippin”— a dazzling, genre-defying musical journey with an unforgettable score by Stephen Schwartz, the creator of “Wicked” — tells the story of a young prince’s quest for purpose through war, pleasure and power, only to discover that fulfillment might lie in life’s quiet, everyday moments.

In “No Exit,” two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in a hideous room in Hell. With no mirrors, lights that never turn off and no escape, each soul is stripped of secrecy as even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed.

“Ride the Cyclone” is a darkly hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt musical. In it, six Canadian teens from the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir meet their untimely end on a roller coaster — only to wake up in limbo, greeted by an aging mechanical fortune teller named The Amazing Karnak. In a dusty, forgotten amusement park warehouse, these ghostly teens are given one extraordinary chance: Tell their story, and one of them will be returned to life. But who most deserves a second chance?

Shakespeare’s classic “A Comedy of Errors” spins a madcap tale of double trouble. After being separated from their twins in a shipwreck, Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio of Syracuse arrive in Ephesus, only to be confused when locals seem to recognize them. Unaware their twins live in the city, the Syracusans unwittingly cause havoc through a comedic series of incidents of mistaken identities.

Admission for all productions is free for U of I students and $6 to $26 for the public. Tickets for “Pippin” are on sale now at uitickets.com .
