Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical

Created by Jordan Ross & Lindsey Rosin

The Garden Theatre is excited to be celebrating our 5th season! In honor of our anniversary, the first half of this monumental season will consist of audience favorites from previous seasons. From our second season, we are thrilled to bring back a show BroadwayWorld called "the most fun you'll have in any theatre this holiday season." Join us for the return of one of the most popular shows we've ever produced: Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical. With this return engagement in a larger venue, we are BACK and BIGGER than ever!

Based on the iconic film starring Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Geller, Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical pulls you into the manipulative world of Manhattan’s most dangerous liaisons: Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. Fueled by revenge and passion, the diabolically charming step-siblings place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower their incoming headmaster’s daughter, Annette Hargrove. As the two set out to destroy the innocent girl— and anyone else who gets in their way — they find themselves playing a perilous game with only one rule: Never fall in love.Read more

4 Corners

Karen Stokes Dance

4 Corners

a new evening length work by Choreographer Karen Stokes

4 Corners considers life as an on-going ebb & flow of time and space within a contained box. Audience members, seated around the edges of the box, view scenes of a continuous shifting journey. Life is perceived as being on a threshold. Movement considers time/space widening and closing, slowing and quickening, within the four corners of the earth. Choreographer Karen Stokes leans into the liminal, pulling back from tangibility to explore uncertainty, transition, and spaciousness.Read more
