When the naive Don José falls for her, he falls hard into a dangerous obsession, breaking up with his childhood sweetheart and abandoning the military. But the reckless Carmen cannot be tamed, and she grows weary of Don José once she meets the glamorous toreador, Escamillo. This messy love triangle won’t end well.

Rehearsal Schedule Rehearsals start Oct 24, 2022. Rehearsal schedule *To Be Determined*; Availability will be required on some weekday evenings and weekends starting October 24, 2022, and for performance dates. No rehearsals on Fridays.
