The Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts at Northwestern University is presenting a diverse winter theater season. The lineup includes plays, musicals, and dance performances scheduled for February and March on the Evanston campus.

The mainstage season opens on February 7 with Tina Howe's comedy "Museum," which offers an absurdist take on art and humanity. Following this, the Chicago premiere of Gabriel Kahane's musical "February House" will begin on February 21. Set in a Brooklyn boarding house during World War II, it explores the lives of its artistic residents. The winter season concludes with "DanceWorks 2025: signal::transfer" on March 14, featuring innovative dance productions.

The full schedule is as follows:

"Museum" by Tina Howe runs from February 7 to 16 at Josephine Louis Theater. Directed by Kathryn Walsh, it unfolds in a contemporary art museum where eccentric characters interact amidst modern culture's absurdities.

"February House," directed by Seth Roseman with music and lyrics by Gabriel Kahane, runs from February 21 to March 2 at Ethel M. Barber Theater. It depicts a bohemian commune led by George Davis that includes figures like poet W.H. Auden and novelist Carson McCullers.
