A Second Stage Production, performing June 27-29, 2025
Director: Christine Carpenter
This is a true tragedy, where a cataclysmic wielding of the patriarchy wrecks havoc within a community. Jason is sidelining his wife Medea (the original princess who helped him gain the golden fleece in the popular myth) to marry a princess. Medea, in response, destroys the lives of those around her, leaving Corinth in a chariot of fire and destruction.
Music and Lyrics by Edie Brickell
Book and Lyrics by Steve Martin
Directed by Drew Doss
Music Direction by Jonathan Sparks
Performances June 13-22, 2025
Alice Murphy is a no nonsense literary editor, but when she meets Billy Cane, a young soldier just home from World War II, the memories of her past resurface. The connection they share leads Alice on a path of self discovery that forever changes her life.
By Neil Simon
Directed by Vivi Guerra

What do you get when an almost-murder mystery goes awry? You get Neil Simon’s classic Rumors. Filled with mistaken identities, hilarious injury, and plenty of poorly thought-out lies, and you get a hilarious farce that will have your sides splitting.
