Closing Night - 7 PM!

The Great Gatsby brilliantly captures the glamour and excitement of the Roaring '20s, bringing to life all the iconic moments of this beloved American classic.

At the heart of the story is self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby, whose pursuit of wealth, status, and power in the Jazz Age conceals a deeper longing: his enduring love for Daisy, the woman he fell for years ago, now married to the wealthy, domineering Tom Buchanan. When Daisy’s cousin, Nick Carraway, becomes Gatsby’s unwitting neighbor, he soon finds himself acting as a go-between for Gatsby and Daisy.

Under the watchful gaze of Dr. Eckleburg's fading billboard, Nick narrates this tragic tale of unfulfilled love, revealing how wealth, materialism, and the decline of moral values tainted the American Dream amidst the opulence and excess of the 1920s.

Only two nights remain. Show time is at 7 PM. Click on the link to purchase your tickets before it's too late!
