4th Wall is excited to open our season with our first mainstage play! As two couples spend the 4th of July in a house left to one of the women by her brother who has recently died from an AIDS-related illness, they mask their fear with desperate wit and hide inside uncomfortable marriages-each character struggling to come to terms with a world of anxious isolation haunted by ever-present death.

Spend Halloween weekend with the Demon Barber of Fleet Street! One of the original scary stories set on the stage in this glorious musical that was later turned into a movie starring Johnny Depp. Benjamin Barker, a man unjustly sent to prison by a lecherous judge, vows revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd “shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again."

A chance encounter brings five lives together in this musical that imagines an extended Italian-American “familia,” whose lives intertwine and heal one another, all while protecting the secrets that hold them together. 4th Wall presents this original piece in a barebones production to allow audiences to peek into the creative process and discuss it with the team in a talk-back session.

The Tony Award winning musical tells the story of Queen, a prostitute who works 42nd Street to support her man, a Vietnam Veteran named Fleetwood. After years of selling her body on the street, Queen has finally managed to save enough money for her and Fleetwood to escape "the life," but circumstances abound that keep her and others we meet ingrained in that world. A wonderful story of hope, perseverance and friendship found in the most unlikely of places.
