Leading Ladies
Step inside the art of the impossible. Join us and experience how the “heist” is constructed. Through demonstrations of lighting effects (yes, lasers!), projection design, and stagecraft illusions, the tech team of Heist will show you the precision and imagination required to pull off the perfect theatrical crime. In conversation with the director, you’ll explore the question at the heart of it all: how do you stage the impossible?
A salon-style evening centered on real stories of love, loss, and reinvention. Pre-selected Leading Ladies stories, interwoven with excerpts or themes from the play, will be performed in an interactive and intimate environment. Inspired by Mary’s use of ornaments to mark dates in The Twelve Dates of Christmas, the Leading Ladies are invited to bring an ornament themed around one of several annual holidays.
Step into a private salon where perception is power and nothing is quite as it seems. Inspired by Mind Reader, mentalism, and the Ides of March, this evening unfolds as a series of mesmerizing demonstrations that reveal how easily the human mind can be swayed. You are invited to experience these psychological experiments up close as the boundaries between intuition and manipulation begin to blur.
The Big Event returns with a reinvented celebration of the Leading Ladies! Attend and share the opening night performance of Rope, presented by the Leading Ladies, alongside your girlfriends. Enjoy an exclusive pre-show reception, then stay for a special post-show party featuring the cast and crew of the show, complete with drink tickets for members and their guests!
