- Broadway Musical: Caroline, or Change (Orchestra Seating)
- Direct from a smash-hit run on London’s West End, this new production of Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori’s explosive musical launches to “the titanic dimensions of greatness” (The New York Times).
In a triumphant, Olivier Award-winning performance, the “legendary” (Time Out London) Sharon D. Clarke stars as an African-American maid working for a Jewish family. Their colliding worlds in 1963 Louisiana ripple with change, both large and small.
Caroline, or Change explores how, in times of great transformation, even the simplest acts can shake the earth. With a score that blends rhythm & blues, gospel, and klezmer melodies, Caroline brings us a magical, show-stopping musical masterpiece!

COA FILMS: The Invisibles @ LEISURE WORLD Leisure World-Clubhouse II, 3300 N. Leisure World Blvd, Silver Spring, MD 20906
While Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels infamously declared Berlin “free of Jews” in 1943, 1,700 managed to survive in the Nazi capital. Claus Räfle’s gripping docudrama traces the stories of four real-life survivors who learned to hide in plain sight. The Invisibles is a testament to the resourcefulness, willpower and sheer chance needed to survive against incredible odds.
