Get ready for a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud romp with Bud and Doug — best friends, die-hard theatre nerds, and the masterminds behind the most bizarre musical you’ve never imagined. In this outrageous two-man spoof, they throw together a no-holds-barred backers’ audition for their latest obsession: a full-blown spectacle about none other than... Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press!

ALICE BY HEART

​​

From the creators of Spring Awakening, Alice by Heart is a bold reimagining of Alice in Wonderland, set in an air raid shelter during the London Blitz and pulsing with indie-rock energy, aching nostalgia, and wild theatricality. A meditation on the power of imagination during the darkest of times.

     

Note that Alice by Heart will open our next season. More information about the show and the full 2026 season lineup will be announced in October!
