Due to circumstances beyond our control, the remaining two performances of LA CAGE aux FOLLES have been canceled. If you have tickets, the box office will reach out. Endlessly proud of our production and grateful to the audiences who have been outspoken about the joy, laughter, and love promoted throughout our show. Theater is a special event that brings people together. It is a search for the commonality that binds us all.
