Our Shows
THE THANKSGIVING PLAY
by Larissa FastHorse
“ . . . you need to kill a turkey.”

INTO THE WOODS
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by James Lapine
“Careful the wish you make . . .”
This funny and dark take on familiar fairy tale characters demonstrate the danger of getting your heart’s desire—and what happens after “happily ever after.”

MEN ON BOATS
by Jaclyn Backhaus
“Oars up!”
