The Illusion by Tony Kushner is a magical fantasy about the power of theatre and its ability to transform an audience... or not.  Yet within the fairy tale, profound and modern meditations on love, control, deceit, family, passion and identity emerge.  We should see ourselves in The Illusion.

Loosely adapted from Pierre Corneille's neoclassical French comedy L'Illusion Comique, Kushner's version strikes a fantastic marriage of Comedia dell'arte and contemporary realism.  Sorcery and generation gaps, sword fights and temper tantrums, rhapsodies and slapstick make this event both timely and timeless.  It is a lyric morality tale peppered with Kushner's renowned wit and social satire.

Featuring music composed by Jim Cowgill, Neysa Glaros, and Chuck Overcash.
