This production of "If/Then" features Sandra M. Emerick and Michael Snider. The play, by the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning team of composer Tom Kitt and lyricist Brian Yorkey, explores the life of Elizabeth, a newly divorced woman who returns to New York City to start over. As she connects with old, and new friends, she discovers that they have quite different opinions on what directions she should take and how to redefine herself. Elizabeth has to decide if she will seek out new adventures or build her professional career in the city. The musical plays out not only her possibilities but encourages the audience to as the same questions. *Production Dates and Times**:* “If/Then” opens on Friday, January 31, and run through February 16, 2020.
