The Climbers by Clyde Fitch September 8 - October 8, 2017	In the middle of the Great Depression an idyllic summer among the rich is threatened by forces that pit the haves against the have-nots.
Indians by Arthur Kopit November 17 - December 17, 2017	From 1968, the story of 19th Century European Americans’ settlement of western North America and displacement and confinement of the Native American population, as well as its subsequent mythologizing of that time…and told as a Wild West Show starring none other than Buffalo Bill Cody! Written as a protesting inquiry into the Vietnam War, Indians resonates anew with today’s confrontations between cultures foreign and domestic.
Area 9 Quartet Winter concert	Boston's classical saxophone quartet returns for the third year to Metropolitan's intimate space.
It's A Wonderful Life	The annual participatory reading of Frank Capra's sentimental classic. Everyone takes a role; the more, the Mary-er.
A Marriage Contract by Augustin Daly February 16-March 18, 2018	It's a comedy of country and city life when well-intentioned and determined lovers of each must contend with falling in love with one another. The valiant effort of a city boy to break himself to his country wife's little town nearly succeeds, in spite of its inertia and judgements. At least his failure opens some hitherto closed eyes and hearts.
The Jewish King Lear by Jacob Gordin in a new English translation by Ruth Gay April 27 - May 27, 2018	Jacob Gordin's 1892 play transformed Yiddish theater in America. This piece, inspired by Shakespeare, plumbed new depths of realism and helped shift the theatrical mores toward serious drama.
Tango Shalom featuring The Murad-Zinger Duo Nicole Murad & Pablo Zinger	Zinger and Murad bring their Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Latin-American and North-American backgrounds together in a program of Sephardic and Yiddish songs.
