April 26 - May 5 Now in its 93rd year, the Waa-Mu show features original work written, performed and produced by more than 100 students. This year's work is a unique presentation of three short-form musicals, connected by the poignant exploration of something being Taken Away.    The Art of the Heist is a supernatural tale about an artist who must steal back the last portrait of her late lover. Stolen Thunder reimagines a Greek myth, portraying an epic struggle for power between Zeus and Athena. A Bird's Song transports audiences to a magical forest town where melodies have transformational consequences. This collaboratively shaped trilogy makes for an emotionally resonant, visually spectacular, and multi-faceted look at themes of loss and resilience. TICKETS   May 3 - 5 By Tracy C. Davis  Directed by David Catlin  Designed by Marcus Doshi   The Great Sea Serpent portrays the laying of the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable–a technological feat that revolutionized communications and ushered in global capitalism–and links it with a tale by Hans Christian Andersen that tells of the cable’s arrival from the perspective of sea creatures. This great “serpent” is a marvel to humans, who see it as the birth of the Information age, and a threat to sea life, for whom it portends the arrival of more and more man-made industrial detritus in the sea.  TICKETS   May 17 - 26 By William Shakespeare  Directed by Manna-Symone Middlebrooks   Trickery and magic, romance, and revenge set the stage for one of Shakespeare’s late masterpieces, The Tempest, in which sprites, goddesses, and fools hold court. Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan and now a powerful magician, raises a great storm to wreck the vessel-bearing betrayers on the shores of the mysterious island Prospero has made home. There, attended upon by Miranda, Prospero’s child, a magical sprite, and a villainous prisoner, Prospero leads them through a mysterious dream on a course from vengeance to reconciliation.
