And Then There Were None
January 27 - February 19, 2023
Ten strangers arrive on an isolated island. Before long, they start dying off, one by one. Nine. . . Eight. . . Seven. . . will anyone survive? Agatha Christie's classic thriller will keep audiences guessing until the last, breathless moment. This production will feature two alternate endings, to be performed on alternating nights: Christie’s original ending of the 1939 novel, and the updated 1943 ending of the play, also written by Christie. This exciting production is directed by Kit Lanthier and Jason Berner.
You On the Moors Now
March 17 - April 9, 2023
Four literary heroines of the nineteenth century set conventionalism ablaze when they turn down marriage proposals from their equally famous gentlemen callers. What results is a confluence of love, anger, grief, and bloodshed, as the ensemble struggles to reconcile romantic ideologies of the past with their modern ideas of courtship. Everything you’ve learned about love from the pages of Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Little Women is turned upside down in this grand theatrical battle royale.
Roe
Dates: June 9 - July 2, 2023
Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion, is still fiercely debated over forty years later. In this incisive play, acclaimed writer Lisa Loomer cuts through the headlines and rhetoric to reveal the divergent personal journeys of lawyer Sarah Weddington and plaintiff Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe") in the years following the fateful decision. In turns shocking, humorous, and poignant, ROE reflects the polarization in America today while illuminating the heart and passion each side has for its cause.
The Language Archive
Dates: August 11 - September 3, 2023
George is a man consumed with preserving and documenting the dying languages of far-flung cultures. Closer to home, though, language is failing him. He doesn’t know what to say to his wife, Mary, to keep her from leaving him, and he doesn’t recognize the deep feelings that his lab assistant, Emma, has for him.
The People Vs. Mona, the Musical
Dates: November 3-26, 2023
The People vs. Mona is a love story, murder mystery, courtroom shenanigans, fate-of-a-small-town-hanging-on-the-verdict musical. Mona Mae Katt is accused of murdering her husband on their wedding night. The resulting trial brings out the worst and the funniest of the citizens in the tiny town of Tippo.
