MAR 7th & 8th | 7:00 PM | Directing Studio | Free
William Finn (Williams ‘74) and James Lapine’s 1990 musical Falsettoland follows an unconventional family that learns to form a community. Set in 1981 in the aftermath of their divorce, Marvin and Trina (who has recently remarried to Marvin’s former psychiatrist, Mendel), handle their son Jason’s Bar Mitzvah preparations as Whizzer, Marvin’s ex-lover, reenters their lives. Alongside their lesbian neighbors, family dynamics fluctuate as the world around them shifts and they learn to depend on each other through change. At its heart, Falsettoland is the story of a found community of people who relinquish their societal norms and open themselves up to an unpredictable love.
An in-person waitlist will begin at 6 pm each evening in front of the Directing Studio.

At the crossroads of identity, language, and culture, what does it mean to live in the spaces in between? Through a whirlwind of memories, a young Korean American Girl grapples with the weight of generational expectation while navigating her relationship with her mother. This one-woman show invites audiences to a world where longing, belonging, and loving blur—where the things left unsaid speak the loudest.
