This musical comedy will be performed in the Besser Studio Theatre. Due to the seating arrangement, latecomers will not be admitted until intermission.

Monty, a charming but poor young man finds out he is ninth in line for an earldom and a family fortune when his mother passes away. His chance of outliving those ahead of him in succession are slim, so he decides to take matters into his own hands. Of course, murder isn't the only thing on his mind, he must also decide which woman should become his bride; the honorable Phoebe or fiery Sibella. Based on the 1907 fictional novel "Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal" by Roy Horniman, this four-time Tony Award-winning musical is filled with murder, wit, and laughs. Due to Adult situations and subject matter, this show may not be appropriate for all audiences.

Proving that compassion, empathy, and kindness are inherent in the human condition, the heartwarming Tony and Olivier Award winning musical by Irene Sankoff and David Hein is based on real world events. After the event of September 11, 2001, forced all inbound flights to reroute, 28 plans and nearly 7,000 people were welcomed to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, which almost doubled the population of the small town. The scared and weary travelers were met with quintessential Canadian hospitality, music, an open bar, and the recognition that we are all part of a global family at a time when the whole world was mourning. Due to Adult situations and subject matter, this show may not be appropriate for all audiences.

This classic play will be performed in the Besser Studio Theatre. Due to the seating arrangement, latecomers will not be admitted. 

The classic Greed play by Aristophanes' is an irreverent satire that deals with gender politics, war, and the cost of peace. In an effort to end the decades-long Peloponnesian War, Athenian woman Lysistrata devises a plan. She convinces the women of Greece to withhold marital relations from their husbands until peace is restored. Written in the playful, subversive style of Aristophanes, this ancient story reveals modern truths. Due to Adult situations and subject matter, this show may not be appropriate for all audiences.
