Into the Breeches

INTO THE BREECHES!

March 7-22, 2025 at Irving Arts Center

By George Brant

Directed by Lisa Devine

It’s 1942 and Oberon Play House's director and leading men are off at war with the Axis. With the men overseas, it appears that the season must be cancelled. Until, that is, the women of the company see their chance to move from the sidelines to center stage and mount the first all-female production of Shakespeare’s Henry V. Will their show be a victory in the battle for equality or a target for tomatoes? This hilarious and heartwarming play about what happens when we’re all in it together explores how theatre can unite a community and expand our idea of who that includes. A laugh-out-loud love letter to theatre and to all those who love it, don’t miss Into the Breeches! A modern and moving comedy about how art and community reveal our boldest selves even in the darkest times
