AlterTheater presents Owners by acclaimed English playwright Caryl Churchill. Social niceties fly out the window in this bitterly funny, taut comedy that skewers our hunger for ownership, power, and what it means to be the master of your belongings -- from houses bought and sold in gentrifying neighborhoods to the hearts of the people you love.

Anything Goes: Cole Porter's Award-Winning Musical

Full Price:
$65.00 - $95.00
Our Price:
$39.00 - $57.00

Showcasing Cole Porter's signature wit and masterful composition, Roundabout Theatre Company's Tony-winning production of Anything Goes features beloved songs such as "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "You're the Top." This timeless tale of boy-meets-girl and the resulting roller coaster ride centers on Billy Crocker, who falls hopelessly in love with a wealthy heiress. When he sees her boarding a boat to London, he throws caution to the wind and becomes a stowaway. Madcap hijinks ensue when his fellow passengers, including the evangelist-turned-nightclub-singer Reno Sweeney and second-rate gangster Moonface Martin, decide to help Billy win his true love.
