"Amazingly, this ambitious production is seamlessly executed by only eight actors, several of whom play multiple roles. The principal performers all sing, dance, and deliver lines with sharp comedic timing, while the supporting cast juggles its various assignments effortlessly ...

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES remains a classic, and this lively production hits it out of the park for both seasoned theatergoers and newcomers alike."

From our haunted and haunting friends at Awesome Theatre 👻:

See the World Premiere presentation of BLOODLINE, written by Rebecca Pierce and directed by Marc Abrigo, before it closes this weekend! After being laid off from her job as a DEI consultant in San Francisco, Naomi finds out she’s inherited a mysterious plot of land from her grandmother in rural Missouri. When she gets there she discovers the land is part of a historic plantation that once enslaved her ancestors, and the current co-owners want her help exorcising the ghosts of the past.
