2026-2027 Theatre Season
Rumors
by Neil Simon, Directed by Gary Zaro
As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

Zombie Prom
Book and Lyrics by John Dempsey, Music by Dana P. Rowe, Adapted by Marc Tumminelli, and Based on a story by John Dempsey and Hugh M. Murphy
Directed by Andrea Robertson
Set in the atomic 1950’s at Enrico Fermi High, Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy, but family pressure forces her to end the romance, causing him to charge off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns from the dead still wanting to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.

Murder Ahoy
by Craig Sodaro
Directed by Andrea Robertson
Ahoy, mystery fans! Book passage on the Titan, a cruise ship headed for the grave of the Titanic, where it hopes to bring up artifacts for auction. But when romance goes sour and the very wealthy and demanding Blake Witherspoon is murdered, a new course must be chartered. The social director tries to steer passengers back to having fun, but Tara Dawn DePue, a detective and antique dealer, decides to solve the crime. With the captain too sick to help, the audience and crew must try to find out who killed Witherspoon before the killer strikes again. Audience members stay involved throughout as they participate in a trivia contest and crossword puzzle, look for clues, bid on auctioned items, help stop a suspect from escaping and even carry a "body" offstage!
