Synopsis:

Accusations, mistaken identities and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancés, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

CAST LIST: TBA

Synopsis:

A comic romp set in Merry Old England. The year is 1560, give or take, and the town is Thatwhich, an up-and-coming market town south of London. When Thatwhich native Henry Goodenough, a self-proclaimed bard, ends his apprenticeship with the Privy Council in London, he returns home to marry childhood sweetheart Lady Penelope. Alas and alack, the course of true love never runs smooth. Penelope’s father is the Right Worshipful Mayor of Thatwhich and is overly protective of his family. To complicate matters further -- and unknown to Henry -- she suffers from an undefined illness.

THE REVOLUTIONISTS

Directed by Kira Smolev
 
3/6/2027 - 2/21/2027

Revolutionists.jpg

CAST LIST: TBA

Synopsis:

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection that ends in a song and a scaffold.

Footloose Poster 2.jpg

CAST LIST: TBA

Synopsis:

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.
