Happy Monday, friends! We’re changing up the schedule for our weekly This Week @ posts. We’ll now cover Monday-Sunday to give folks more time to plan their weekends.
Important Note for this week: Henry IV is in tech this week at the Madnani, so this week, Tuesdays@9 will be at The Hobgoblin!
We also have some events in the works that may get added to this post later this week, so keep an eye out for updates!
By the way, if you haven’t already, consider giving us a like or a follow on our company Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts! We’d love to connect with you.

Henry IV Parts I & II by William Shakespeare
October 30th-November 24th | The Madnani Theater | Tickets starting at $12.51
Opening Weekend!
The Madnani is excited to host Henry IV Parts I and II, presented by The Porters of Hellsgate. This will be the Porter’s 33rd and 34th productions in their journey towards finishing Shakespeare’s canon.
Director Margaret Starbuck on diving into the process – “I’m thrilled to get to direct these two epic plays for the Porters. I love the way the Henry IVs dynamically intercut uproarious comedic scenes with Scandal-esque court intrigue and intense battle scenes. Their exploration of how power is gained, maintained, enforced and sacrificed for is a topic that is ripe for discussion in this election year.” Get Tickets.

Angels In America, Parts I & II
November 8th-November 17th | The Other Space @ The Actors Company | Tickets starting at $25
Featuring Lighting Design by Greg!
Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, is a two-part play set amidst the backdrop of New York City at the height of the AIDS crisis.
The show follows the interconnected stories of Prior Walter, a gay man recently diagnosed with AIDS, alongside his neurotic boyfriend Louis, his best friend Belize, the real-life Roy Cohn, and a Mormon family trying to navigate the harsh realities of 1980s New York.
With the political landscape of Ronald Reagan’s America becoming more tumultuous by the day, Angels in America forces these individuals to reckon with questions of manhood, sexual identity, politics, and love. Get Tickets
Picasso, Beckett, Eno: Theatre of the Absurd
November 15th-November 17th | The Hobgoblin Playhouse | Tickets starting at $30
One Weekend Only!
Did you know that the most famous painter who ever lived, Pablo Picasso, once dabbled in the art of playwriting? His plays are hardly ever produced – notorious for being difficult to stage. Well, now’s your chance to check out the genius of his literary skills!
In this production, three short plays will be performed showing the growth of Absurdist theatre over the years. We start with Pablo Picasso’s “Desire Caught by the Tail” in a brand new translation by Milena Karpukhina from its original French, made for our very own production. We end the night with Pulitzer Prize finalist Will Eno’s “Tragedy: a tragedy”.
Pablo Picasso has been referred to by theatre historians as the predecessor to Samuel Beckett. Will Eno likewise has been called “Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation.” Get Tickets
THAT’S IT FOR NOW!
If you’ve got your own show that you’d like to put up, or if you just need rehearsal space, we’ve got you covered! Reach out to us at TheStageCrafts.com and book a tour of The Hobgoblin Playhouse or The Madnani Theater today!
Until next week!
