Ordinary Days
October 4-13, 2024
Set in New York City in the early 21st century, Adam Gwon’s charming four-person musical follows an aspiring artist, an ambitious grad student, and a young couple in love who are all trying to find the answers to life’s questions: What is my “big picture?” Why can’t I let things go? Where am I going and how will I get there? Why can’t life be more like art? Our production will embrace the little things, reminding us that we are all pieces of a much bigger story than we might have first imagined.
Dates:
October 4-5, 11-12, 2024 - 7:30 p.m.
October 6 & 13, 2024 - 2:00 p.m.
Location: Bertha Martin Theatre
The Tempest
November 7-10, 2024
People have been producing and performing in The Tempest for over 400 years. This is a story about revenge, shipwrecks, magical spirits, young love, conniving brothers, forgiveness, redemption and change. Set on a remote and magical island where seemingly anything can happen and which is full of “sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not,” this is one of Shakespeare’s most mature and deeply felt works. It features monsters and drunken clowns and contains language both silly and lyrical. Our production will feature magic and live music and will focus on making the text accessible to all audiences.
Dates:
November 7-9, 2024 - 7:30pm.
November 7-8, 2024 - 10:00am. (school days matinee)
November 10, 2024 - 2:00pm.
Location: Strayer-Wood Theatre
Gretel! The Musical
March 6-9, 2025
Before there was Hansel, there was Gretel! Based on the Russian source that is the origin of the tale, this musical features folk and rock music that captures the darkness and humor of Gretel’s journey. Gretel's pain and suffering (cloaked as her stepmother and stepsister) send her to fetch the skull of undying light from Baba Yaga, the feared witch who lives in the trees. Once Gretel reaches Baba Yaga’s hut on chicken legs, she confronts the witch. Baba Yaga sets three impossible tasks for Gretel to complete in exchange for the skull, encouraging the girl to harness her power of rage and revenge. In the tasks, Gretel must decide the type of magic she wants to be known for – anger or compassion – as she teaches herself how to survive.
Best enjoyed by children ages 8-12 and their families.

March 6-7, 2025 - 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. (school days matinee)
