Waiting for Godot

Is it possible that two seemingly homeless men represent all of humanity as they wait for someone – or something – to give their lives meaning? As Vladimir and Estragon wait for the mysterious “Godot”, they banter about minor complaints like the tightness of their boots, to major questions like the meaning of existence. Torn between hope and uncertainty, this hapless pair hosts an array of strange visitors while dutifully waiting for their promised salvation.

Deeply influential and iconically enigmatic, Samuel Beckett’s comic, absurdist masterpiece asks the simple yet profound question, “What are we doing here?” Today, Vladimir might be talking to us when he reassures his pal, “Tomorrow, everything will be better.”

Shows generally begin at 7:30pm or 2:00pm depending on the date. See website for specific details.
