Effective Friday March 13th at 5PM, the Charles R. Wood Theater will be closed through Tuesday April 14th at Noon. This decision is not one that was made lightly, but one that is necessary. Our community’s health and safety is of paramount importance and while we are saddened to halt the creative process – we must do everything in our power to prevent the spreading of COVID-19 and protect the well being of the thousands that would enter our doors over the next 30 days. Theater staff will continue to work throughout this closure and will work diligently to reschedule all affected events.

One of the most beloved fairytales of all time gets a funky makeover, as Cinderella finds herself without an invitation (or anything to wear) to Prince Charming’s disco party. But when her Fairy Godmother shows up to get Cinderella back on beat, the two have to dance their way through re-enactments of other classic tales – from Beauty and the Beast, to Sleeping Beauty, and more.  Disco music, dancing, and audience participation make this show a crowd-pleaser for the whole family!

Groundbreaking Musical Drama

Book & Lyrics by Khiyon Hursey
Directed by Desdemona Chiang

When Calvin, a twenty-something Chinese-American adoptee, is given six months to live, he decides to make good on his lifelong dream of seeing his home country with the little time he has left. But unbeknownst to him, Calvin’s long-lost brother Yu is traveling from China to New York City to live his own dream—and while the two may have never met, each must choose between the life they’ve lived…and the one that may still lie ahead of them. Transcending language and cultural boundaries, EASTBOUND’s contemporary score fuses with Mandopop to tell this unforgettable story of discovery, identity, and the destinies we never knew awaited us.

Written by and starring Baba Brinkman

Drama Desk Award Nominee Baba Brinkman brings his brand-new, critically acclaimed hit to ATF! Equal parts rap concert, TED Talk, and stand-up comedy performance, RAP GUIDE TO CULTURE journeys through music, poetry, art, science, relationships—and everything in between – to get at the core of what makes humans… human. Eye-opening, hilarious, and wholly original, Brinkman brilliantly explores some of today’s stickiest topics to discover where we’ve been, and—more importantly—where we might be going.

Join Matt Rodin, star of last year’s hit musical, BEAU, to celebrate the release of his brand new album, MATT RODIN: LIVE AT HOME. Hear the regional debut of his original music, and, of course, get ready to sing along to some theatre hits, in an intimate evening with one of ATF’s favorite artists.

All is peaceful at the Harmony Hill retirement community – the rooms are comfy, the meals are tasty, and the citizen-run radio station is a hit (even if it only plays hits from the past). But when an executive waltzes in threatening to tear down WLK 89.3 and turn their building into condos, the talented tenants of the senior center band together and hold a radiothon to save their station…and their homes.
