Jun. 13 - Jun. 14, 2020
Saturday-Sunday
Mack is back! Enter a seamy underworld of salacious cynicism and merry anarchy filled with beggars, hoodlums and prostitutes. This brillian musical is a political and social satire about the corruption of humanity and a sharp critique of capitalism. Brutal, scandalous, yet humorous and with a happy ending, The Threepenny Opera is a landmark of modern drama and includes one of the most popular songs of the twentieth century, "The Ballad of Mack the Knife."
Performed in English.
