For the entire Family!

Based on Arnold Lobel’s beloved children’s books, A Year with Frog and Toad is a whimsical musical that tells the story of two best friends: the cheerful Frog, and curmudgeonly Toad. The musical follows Frog and Toad through four colorful seasons, from hibernation to hibernation. Frog and Toad, along with their playful, quirky friends Snail, Turtle, the Birds, and more, enact many adventures, from rushing down a hill in a runaway sled in the winter, to taking a picnic and a quiet moment in the summer. Children and adults alike with relish in the joyful vignettes of A Year With Frog and Toad, which feature catchy tunes, funny dialogue, and bright, memorable characters.

Tickets will go on sale very soon! Watch our page for more announcements.

Dear Friends!

We wanted to make this announcement as soon as everything was official.

We are sad to announce our production of Fiddler on the Roof is being postponed until the start of Fall 2026 semester. This will be the opening show for our season next year! The new dates are:

Oct 9, 10, 11 and 16, 17, 18.

Tickets for this production will go on sale in July.

The theatre renovations are taking a bit longer than expected and in order to put on the best show for our students and for you all, we decided this was the best option. There will be a special celebration for the renovation during this production. Please stay tuned for more information on that.

Watch for an announcement about the musical that will take Fiddler's place in March. It will be in the Black Box. I can tell you that it will be a musical for the ENTIRE FAMILY!!! We will announce this show in the next week or so.

We are excited for everyone to see the wonderful new theatre space!

If you have any questions about that production or our season next year you can reach out to use through messanger or by emailing [email protected].

Things are winding up for our fall production, Home is Where Your Clothes Are. This is a wildly funny british farce and will be sure to make you laugh the whole way through!

If you have been wondering about ticket sales, we recently were able to incorporate a brand new ticketing system. We have finally worked out all the bugs and it is ready for sales!

Days 3, 4, and 5!

Did you know that William Shakespeare had a son named Hamnet Shakespeare?! He died when he was 11 years old. The true history of his son is shrouded in mystery. May be time to write a play call Hamnet!

Here are some comparsions for the last few days that we missed. Looking forward to the start another awesome semester!

Day 2!

Did you know there are a few theories as to where the term “break a leg” came from.

My favorite and maybe the most commonly known theory is that it stems from the Vaudville era, where performers eagerly awaited in the wings for their turn on the stage. Passers-by encouraged them to “break a leg.” Meaning to break the barrier of the long curtain, also known as “legs,” that covers the wings.

Hence, break a leg.

If you know of others, tell us what your favorite is!
