Opening The Season on a Day That Will Never Be Forgotten
"Come From Away" is more than a musical — it's a heartfelt tribute to extraordinary human kindness during one of history's darkest days. The Tony-nominated show (book, music, and lyrics by Canadian husband-and-wife team Irene Sankoff and David Hein) tells the true story of the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, which welcomed nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers after U.S. airspace closed on September 11, 2001.
Bringing Back a Favorite Story
In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas!This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States.
Powerful and Impactful Drama
Immortalized on stage and screen by Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, this classic tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller.The Miracle Worker dramatizes the volatile relationship between the lonely teacher and her charge. Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, Helen is violent, spoiled, almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there are a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence. With scenes of intense physical and emotional dynamism, Anne's success with Helen finally come with the utterance of a single, glorious word: “water.”
A Classic Comedy by Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde's classic is a delight from the first cucumber sandwich on as Jack's double life catches up with him. The problems are resolved in an extremely charming and quite unexpected way as Jack and Algernon discover the importance of being earnest while answering to the name of Earnest.
And Finally, a Saucy Farce
The true meaning of fate, identity, and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculous - potentially murderous - uncharacteristically feminist, 1923 British tale of sex, betrayal, and oh yes, love ... when Sylvia Van Kipness decides to expose her love affair to her husband and her lover's wife.
