Collected Stories April 12 to April 28 One Thursday Only, April 18- 7:30PM Fridays 7:30pm, Saturdays 4:00pm, Sundays 2:30pm The nature of story itself is a fascinating subject to explore. Who owns the rights to our story? To our privacy? A teacher and respected author mentors a young writer, who decides to base her novel on her mentor's secret affair with famed poet, Delmore Schwartz. Their conflict raises deep moral questions about the creative process and artistic responsibility. The gripping, insightful, and sharply-written relationship between mentor and protegee is featured in an unforgettable drama.

A triple-crown Tony Award winner! (Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book) Experience the raw power of the awakening adolescent heart The 8-time Tony award-winning musical phenomenon (including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book) unleashes onto The Rep’s stage, exploring the tempestuous landscape of adolescence. With an unforgettable indie rock score that redefined the genre of musical theatre, this smash hit catapults the audience into a pulsating world where morality, sexuality, and rebellion illuminate the daunting path from innocence to adulthood. With music by singer-songwriter legend Duncan Sheik and a sophisticated book and lyrics by Steven Sater, Spring Awakening follows a band of young students who find themselves caught in the whirlwind of growing up as their voices echo into the silent void of the adult world. Their trials and tribulations paint a vivid portrait of youth in all its raw, untamed glory, serving as a timeless reflection on the passion, chaos, and rebellious spirit inherent to teenagehood. Experience the thrill of "Spring Awakening" as it electrifies your senses, touches your heart, and leaves you forever altered – this is adolescence laid bare in all its poignant, exhilarating tumult.

Holiday Inn Portsmouth and Gone Rogue Pro Comedy bring a night of laughs for Military appreciation month! Hosted by MomCom, Mona Forgione, this night delivers laughs from New England's funniest people. Headliner: Dave Rattigan “There’s nothing funny about the way he looks, until he gives that deadpan look of his,” popular blogger Ralph Fatello (RalphsPic.com) wrote about Dave Rattigan. “His outward appearance is something out of a mature GQ magazine. He looks like a cross between a semi hip banker, and your mild-mannered father-in-law …. Dave is the master of completely dismantling himself in front of a crowd of strangers. I’m always torn as to whether I should console him, or just laugh my ass off like everyone else. What other job is there where your whole gig is to make fun of yourself? Comedians make fun of themselves. That takes guts and talent. Dave does it in a way that resonates with his audience. Especially when he gets on his age. (He’s not that old. 64) But he makes it seem like he’s got one foot in the grave. Especially when it comes to the opposite sex. I looked around at all the 60 plus men in the audience, and they were all laughing at each other as were their wives and girlfriends. You know they (comics) are hitting home when the audience starts to point at each other….” A regular at the annual Hampton Beach Comedy Festival, Rattigan has performed around the Northeast and in Ireland. He has performed at Fenway Park, The Cape Cod Melody Tent, South Shore Music Circus, a lumberyard, campgrounds, the lobby of an ad agency, libraries, an auto showroom and several parking lots. His CD was played on SiriusXM and radio stations all over the U.S. and Ireland, and he has appeared in regional television commercials on NESN.
