Carrie Watts, an aging widow, is living unhappily under the watchful eye of her overprotective son and bossy daughter-in-law. She takes matters into her own hands and runs away, sure that she can regain her peace of mind, if only she can return home to the small town where she grew up. She is befriended by a young girl who listens to her reminisce, and a kindly sheriff who allows her to complete the final stage of her long journey to Bountiful. Her trip reaches a bittersweet end, but it proves to be a journey of the heart worth taking, when at last she rediscovers the strength and dignity that will give her the courage to survive.
Directed by Blakeman Brophy.

Off-Broadway's phenomenal longest-running musical celebrates the modern-day suburban mating game behind the contemporary conundrum known as "the relationship." The journey from dating and waiting, to love and marriage, reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious musical revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?"
Directed by Joshua Redford.

All the world's a stage in this romantic comedy favorite of the Bard's with its story of thwarted lovers, disguise, and happy restitution. Rosalind, daughter of a banished Duke, flees the court of her uncle to save her own life. With her cousin Celia, she disguises herself as a man and they find refuge in the enchanting Forest of Arden. Rosalind encounters the young Orlando and they both promptly fall in love. Through merry misunderstandings, pleasing poetry and hilarious happenstance, As You Like It shows us the forces of true love and justice can make a out-of-kilter world right again—and done so by a woman!
Directed by Michael Kharfen.

Curtains unfolds in a Boston theatre, where a new musical could be a smash hit, if not for the talent-free leading lady. When the hapless star dies on opening night (to the relief of the entire company!), the detective who arrives to investigate is drawn in by the irresistible lure of the theatre world he has always dreamed about. The biting lady producer convinces everyone "the show must go on!" In the classic musical style of the '50s, you see dancing mermaids, wild-west cowboys, and solve not one, but THREE murders! Curtains was nominated for 8 Tony Awards in 2007.
Directed by Andrew JM Regiec, produced by Rick Schneider, musical direction by Mark Deal, choreographed by Andrea Heininge.
Auditions were held July 31 and August 1.
