Fall Musical
October 16-November 6, 2026 - Fred splashes into court and turns tradition on its jeweled head, taking on riddles, royal challenges and one imperious queen determined to keep her son single. As she woos the brave Prince Dauntless, twenty mattresses and a single, squishy pea stand between true love and happily ever after. Filled with catchy songs, playful characters, fantastic locations, and humorous situations, the classic musical comedy explores themes of love, courage, and the quest for acceptance. Its charming narrative and lively performances make it a delightful experience for audiences of all ages!
UPCOMING!!
Auditions will be held October 17-20, 2026! Stay tuned for more information and a link to sign-up!

Join us for a warm and witty classic comedy about Elwood P. Dowd, a charming gentleman whose best friend happens to be a six-foot-tall invisible rabbit named Harvey. When his exasperated family tries to have him committed, a hilarious series of misunderstandings turns everyone’s world upside down. Funny, heartfelt, and delightfully whimsical, Harvey asks us to consider whether it’s better to be “normal”—or simply kind.
