Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.

When You Speak of Love: Kurt Weill

German-born American composer Kurt Weill revolutionized what theatre could be - both in terms of musical form and satirical content - through his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht in Berlin. Their “epic theatre” exploits led to Weill’s music being banned in his native country. He fled Germany for Paris, and after a highly prolific two years there, Weill would ultimately land in New York City in 1935, where he was quickly influenced by Broadway and jazz. Weill collaborated with many greats of Broadway’s Golden Age: Ira Gershwin, Alan Jay Lerner, and Ogden Nash to name a few. Award-winning performer Michelle Jasso presents her musical love letter to Weill’s prolific opus.

This year for our annual Theatricum Cabaret we are proud to celebrate the legacy of Joni Mitchell, recognizing her extraordinary contributions to music, culture, and society. Joni Mitchell’s work transcends genre, blending folk, jazz, and pop with deeply personal and poetic storytelling that has resonated across generations. As a pioneer for women in the music industry, Joni Mitchell shattered barriers and redefined the role of the singer-songwriter, influencing countless artists while remaining uniquely her own. Her ability to capture the complexities of the human experience—from love and loss to social and environmental consciousness—makes her a timeless voice in both music and cultural history. By uplifting her music, our company honors her artistry, celebrates her enduring influence, and invites our audiences to experience the depth and beauty of her unparalleled legacy in a magical outdoor theatrical setting.
