A brand-new play with an original score and captivating movement, LEARNING unravels the poignant journey of Debs and Jonathan—a couple hurtling in opposite directions.

As Jonathan embraces the Jewish faith he’s spent a lifetime evading, Debs, disaffected by years of trying to live up to religious imperatives, yearns to break free. With moments of raw conflict and fleeting calm, they wrestle with the past, grapple with the present, and question whether their love can weather the divide.

LEARNING offers a heartfelt and thought-provoking exploration of identity, belief, and what it means to truly connect with others and with ourselves.

A simple bedtime story swirls into a surreal tale of four flawed souls stuck in purgatory—a celestial bathroom—in this irreverent yet warmhearted new musical with songs by German pop-rock star Tobias Künzel (Die Prinzen) and Mark Underwood.

With four new arrivals but only three spots in the afterlife, St. Peter is barely keeping his head above water. As each soul pleads their case for a second chance on Earth, ‘help’ arrives in the form of (puppet) Elvis and, you guessed it, (puppet) former leader of the German Democratic Republic, Erich Honecker.

With hints of Avenue Q, this toe-tapping romp through the absurdity of bureaucracy, the search for meaning in utter chaos, and the hope that even the most flawed among us can find redemption promises to be anything but bog-standard.
