SAT AUG 13 - SAT SEP 10

From an Oscar-nominated film to a world premiere musical, Tony Award-winner BD Wong and Tony Nominee Wayne Barker bring to the stage Mr Holland’s Opus, a new musical. Glenn Holland, gives up his dreams for teaching high school music to make ends meet. Little does he realize that leaving one’s mark on the world can take many different forms, as his temporary detour leads to a lifetime impacting the lives of hundreds. Adapting Patrick Sheane Duncan’s cherished screenplay, this musical journey is a love letter to the enduring influence music has on humanity and the difference one person can make.

Accessibility: While there will not be an ASL interpreted performance for this run, Open Captioning monitors are positioned on each side of the stage. We strongly recommend seating in Row L and M for more comfortable viewing with a 45-degree angle for both the monitor and the stage. If you choose to sit closer, you will have to turn your head more frequently to take in the captioning. While the text is large, if you are concerned about visibility from a distance, we suggest bringing binoculars.
