PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Concord Floral is an abandoned greenhouse and a refuge for a group of neighborhood teenagers. But when two friends discover something hidden inside it, they set off a chain of events that forces the group to confront a secret they thought they had buried. Inspired by Boccaccio’s The Decameron, Concord Floral is a contemporary ensemble play about adolescence, collective responsibility, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Drawn from Tolstoy’s War and Peace, this energetic electropop opera follows young Natasha and world-weary Pierre through a whirlwind of romance, scandal, and self-discovery. With her fiancé away at war, Natasha arrives in Moscow and falls under the spell of the charismatic Anatole, while Pierre searches for meaning in his own unsettled life. Blending pop, folk, classical, and electronic music, Dave Malloy’s lush and electric musical brings these intersecting stories to life through an expansive ensemble, an opulent theatrical world, and a richly varied score.
