Waiting for Godot
by Samuel Beckett
July 30–August 16, 2026
Directed by Mark Fossen
Two wandering tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, wait by a lonely tree to meet up with Godot, an enigmatic figure in a world where time, place, and memory are blurred, and meaning is where you find it. The tramps hope that Godot will change their lives for the better. Instead, two eccentric travelers arrive, one man on the end of the other’s rope.
