The Grammy®-nominated British vocal ensemble presents Lead Me Home, a program that journeys through the rich and varied landscape of American choral music, tracing a path through faith, folk tradition, poetry, and popular song. The program moves from the timeless devotion of Virgil Thomson’s “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need” and the spiritual “My Lord What a Morning” to the visionary sound-worlds of Caroline Shaw, Morten Lauridsen and Eric Whitacre. Alongside these sacred and contemplative works sit songs of beauty, longing, and place: Samuel Barber’s shimmering “To Be Sung on the Water,” and the timeless folk melody “Shenandoah.” The program closes with affectionate musical portraits of two iconic cities in “April in Paris” and “I Get a Kick Out of New York.”

“Five male college seniors and their housemates have no purpose in their lives. They march against the staus quo and taunt the “pigs”. One feels genuine emotion at his mother’s death from cancer, one romance dies and another is aborted. Ultimately, they realize their lives are as empty as the establishment they protest so vehemently against.”&nbsp;

<h2>TWELFTH NIGHT</h2>
By William Shakespeare Directed by Daniela Varon

October 15 – 25, 2026 Nafe Katter Theatre


Shipwrecked and cast upon the shores of Illyria, Viola – believing her twin brother lost – disguises herself as a boy, Cesario, and enters the service of Duke Orsino. When Orsino sends Cesario as his intermediary to woo Countess Olivia, the fair lady falls for the messenger instead, and Viola finds herself entwined in a mess of mishaps, misunderstandings, and mistaken identities, where nothing is as it seems. Add a steward with delusions of grandeur, and a healthy dose of shenanigans, and the stage is set for mayhem and merriment. CRT guest artist Daniela Varon directs this classic, beloved comedy.
