2022/23 Season

One Library, Two Countries. 

Boundaries Crossed. Choices Made.
Lives Changed.

Squabbling siblings Albert and Jennifer Chen reached the pinnacle of academic achievement when they were kids. But as adults, they can’t seem to get things right: he's just been passed up for a promotion and she's been dumped by her less-than-ideal boyfriend. To fix the sorry states of their lives, they turn to the one thing they know they can blame: their parents. Or America. Or maybe China? It’s someone else’s fault, that’s for sure.

Guy is a young Irish musician ready to give up his career because his songs, written about his ex-girlfriend, are too heartbreaking to perform any more. When he encounters Girl, an inquisitive young Czech woman who believes he could win his ex back by playing to her in New York City, he resumes writing and performing—now with Girl. As the two form their band and write new songs together, a love grows between them—one that inspires and challenges them.

THE AWE-INSPIRING, ONE-OF-A-KIND RENDITION OF THE DICKENS CLASSIC RETURNS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

We're turning the Gillian Theatre into a cozy living room overflowing with cardboard boxes. What happens next is up to you.
