We’ve been teaming up with Theatreworks since 2019 to help turn their annual season lineup into stories that leap off posters and into people’s calendars. The design for each show is crafted in close collaboration with the artistic team and director to capture the mood of each show and feel as dynamic and inviting as the performance itself.

Working with a theatre company that’s been lighting up the stage for over 50 years — mixing timeless classics with fresh, thought-provoking new work — means we get to play with so many varying thematic elements from year to year. The result? Design that honors Theatreworks’ rich theater tradition while giving each season an unmistakable voice.

Graphic celebrating a 50-year anniversary with the text 'Theatreworks 50 Years of Imagination & Joy'. The design includes two lit candles shaped as the numbers 5 and 0, with colorful vertical stripes beneath them.

Cabaret

Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome. Set in 1920s Weimar Germany, this haunting musical blurs the line between performance and audience, pairing raw energy with chilling relevance. Featuring a three-piece band and minimalist design, the production strips away spectacle to spotlight the unforgettable Emcee, Sally Bowles, and the human cost of political apathy.

Book cover of 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde, featuring a hand holding two roses with top hats, with some roses growing from the ground.

The Importance of Being Earnest

This razor-sharp comedy of manners brims with mistaken identities, secret engagements, and some of the wittiest lines ever penned. The Importance of Being Earnest revels in wit, charm, and cucumber sandwiches.

Book cover titled 'Where We Stand' by Donetta Lavinia Grays, featuring a silhouette of two people facing each other inside a house outline with a scenic background of fields, clouds, and city buildings.

Where We Stand

Part play, part poetry, part concert—Donetta Lavinia Grays’ Where We Stand is a one-person fable about community, mercy, and the cost of our choices. When a stranger arrives offering salvation, the audience must decide: will we accept the deal? This intimate, genre-defying show invites audiences to listen, reflect, and ultimately vote. A soulful, spellbinding story about what it means to stand together—or stand alone.

Book cover or poster inspired by Romeo and Juliet, featuring the title in stylized purple text, a red heart with a black X, and a blood-red dagger stabbed into a blood splatter.

Romeo & Juliet

Passion, violence, and poetry collide in a daring new staging of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy. Romeo and Juliet honors Theatreworks’ very first Shakespeare production from 1976 with a fresh lens on star-crossed love. This bold revival explores the urgency and danger of young love in a fractured world—where ancient grudges and youthful desire combust with devastating consequence.

Book cover titled 'The Garbologists' by Lindsay Joelle, featuring two sanitation workers in safety vests amidst garbage bags with cityscape in the background.

The Garbologists

Two sanitation workers. One big city. Zero patience.

In The Garbologists, Danny and Marlowe form an unlikely bond on the back of a garbage truck. As they navigate the mess—literal and emotional—of New York’s streets, they discover humor, humanity, and the meaning buried in what we throw away. Lindsay Joelle’s sharp, heartfelt comedy closes the season with big laughs, unexpected heart, and a dash of trash talk.
