Into the Woods
Show Dates: April 22,23,24,28,29,30 & May 1
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece… and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
Arms and the Man
Directed by Fran Teague
George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man is Shaw’s funniest play. Lovely Raina idealizes her fiancé, a heroic soldier, despises the enemy soldier who begs her to save his life. After the war, both the enemy and her fiancé return. Raina meets them both with arguments that spark and love-making that sparkles. Laughs and ideas battle it out for the lady’s favor.

Leading Ladies
Show Dates: February 11,12,13,17,18,19,20
In this hilarious comedy by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing Scenes from Shakespeare on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces!
Noises Off
Show Dates: June 17,18,19,23,24,25,26
With their opening night on London’s West End just hours away, a cast of actors staggers through rehearsal. Just when the director thinks things couldn’t get worse—they do. With lost lines, love triangles, and sardines flying, pandemonium takes over before intermission. Can the cast pull their act together both in front of the footlights and behind the curtain? A love letter to the thrilling and unpredictable nature of the stage, Noises Off will leave you rolling in the aisles as everything that could go wrong, does go wrong.
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder
Show Dates: August 12,13,14,18,19,20,21
Edwardian style and classic farce ensue when middle-class Englishman Monty Narvarro learns he is the ‘son of the daughter of the grandson of the nephew of the second Earl of Highhurst.’ He relentlessly pursues his rightful earldom, accompanied by hilarity, stunning operatics, and an array of unforgettable characters.
