A landmark in American drama, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town tells the story of a small town, Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, in order to tell us the story of every town, the whole world over. Through the young lovers Emily and George, their strong and loving parents, and the many other Grover’s Corners’ locals, Wilder delivers universal truths about what it means to be human. “Oh, earth,” Emily Webb exclaims towards the play’s end, “you’re too wonderful for anyone to realize you.” With humor, wit, and exceptionally powerful storytelling, Our Town offers a unique opportunity for audience members to make precisely that realization. Suitable for older youth and adults.

“No American play describes more powerfully how we imagine ourselves.” – New York Daily News

It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays. Suitable for older youth and adults.

“From the intriguing opening mini play-within-a-play to the surprise last scene a split second before final curtain, The Game’s Afoot gives you everything you love about great live theatre. Billed as a comedy thriller, you will find yourself swept along for a wild and funny ride.” – Cleveland Examiner

Based on Studs Terkel’s best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working celebrates our search for meaning and satisfaction in the daily grind. You’ll meet a schoolteacher, waitress, millworker, mason, and housewife, to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, this funny and poignant musical features songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Wicked), and James Taylor. Suitable for older youth and adults.

“Ordinary people are extraordinary just by being themselves, doing their routine jobs and living their humdrum lives. They speak of the lost dreams, hopes and desires of a nation. The [songs are] funny, tragic, perceptive and thought-provoking, written and sung from the heart.” –Stage Review

Fed up with the pressures and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in Beaver Haven and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her long-time agent, but dealing with her nosy, omnipresent neighbors is a different matter. In an attempt to shoo them away, and gain some privacy, Myra invents a crazy, homicidal sister—who is kept locked in an upstairs room, but who occasionally escapes long enough to scare off uninvited visitors. The ruse works well, at first, but complications result. In desperation, Myra announces that her imaginary sibling has suddenly gone off to Boston—which brings on the sheriff and the suspicion of murder! Suitable for older youth and adults.

“These zany neighbors think nothing of walking right in if a door is unlocked, and always seem to be doing their best to create even more interesting tales to tell each other over tea – or perhaps just a bit more scotch! Just goes to show you there’s a lot of fun and games going on behind the scenes in rustic Beaver Haven, Vermont.” –Broadway World
