A SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS
by Alan Ayckbourn
March 4 -21, 2026
England's master of farce and social satire is in top form in this comic morality play. Jack McCracken has the opportunity of a lifetime: he is the new head of a family furniture business and believes he will initiate a new age of honesty and integrity. Unfortunately, his family has other ideas. As affairs, embezzlements, extortion, corporate shenanigans, a bunch of Italian brothers each more handsome than the next, continues to be revealed, Jack’s hold on his morality may be pushed past the breaking point but at the end of the day, family values may win out. A play that will make you appreciate your own family more than you ever have.

ARMS AND THE MAN
by George Bernard Shaw
October 8-25, 2025
Arms and the Man is a romantic comedy by the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. Set during the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian war, the play follows Raina Petkoff as she chooses between her fiancé, the rather dense but dashingly handsome war hero Sergius Saranoff, and a more battle-scarred but charismatic mercenary from the opposing army, Captain Bluntschli.
Nobel Literature winner Shaw, best known for his play Pygmalion on which My Fair Lady is based, here creates a world in which, with a little help from doting mothers, clever disguises and a fondness for chocolate, love can truly conquer all.

From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation, The Producers, comes this monster musical comedy. The comedy genius, Mel Brooks, adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation – Young Frankenstein!
Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen") inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity abounds.
Every bit as relevant to audience members who will remember the original as it will be to newcomers, Young Frankenstein has all the of panache of the screen sensation with a little extra theatrical flair added. With such memorable tunes as The Transylvania Mania, He Vas My Boyfriend and Puttin' on the Ritz, Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven, monstrously good entertainment!
