Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by John Manzelli
Step into a sleek, sexy, and thoroughly modern world with Verona, a bold new staging of Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona—with a twist. Set amid the glossy universe of Italian high fashion and the irresistible pull of social-media influencers who rule the power circuits of Milan, this fast-paced adaptation transforms one of Shakespeare’s earliest plays into a sharp, stylish, and irresistible romp.
Staged in the round inside the DJD Theater, Verona surrounds the audience with a pulsing club atmosphere—close, immersive, and electric. With special seating limited to only 150 guests, every performance puts you right in the heart of the action as love triangles, loyalty tests, and betrayals play out under the neon glow of modern Italy.
A contemporary spin on a classic comedy—provocative, playful, and unforgettable. Welcome to Verona.

Directed by Guest Artist Rachel Buttram
Prepare to enter the den.
The Wolves is a raw, electric, and darkly funny portrait of a high-school girls’ indoor soccer team as they warm up, wind up, and collide—on the field and off. Fierce, fast-paced, and unfiltered, this Pulitzer Prize–nominated play lets us eavesdrop on nine young women fighting for their place in a world that demands speed, strength, loyalty, and grit.
Directed by professional guest director Rachel Buttram, returning to ASFA after her beautifully rendered fall production of Dancing at Lughnasa, this production unleashes the intensity of competition with the thrill of authentic teenage voices. Expect overlapping dialogue, sharp humor, emotional landmines, and the unmistakable pulse of a team searching for identity, unity, and victory.
Fun, fearless, and explosively alive—The Wolves is a match you don’t want to miss.
All Tickets: $8
