The COMPLETE WORKS of Wm. Shakespeare (abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield Directed by Jess Hicks Celebrate the 400 th anniversary of Shakespeare s death with a rollicking good time! This irreverent, fast-paced romp of a play, breaks the standard Shakespeare facade to make the Bard's stories come alive. All 37 plays in 97 minutes! Pithier than Python. The madcap cast of 4 women weave a wickedly funny path through the Comedies, Histories and Tragedies of the most famous writer in the English language, William T. Shakespeare (the T stands for terrific!). September 16 October 9, 2016
The Ultimate Christmas Carol By E. Scrooge, Esq., as told to Charles Dickens, Author. Original Music by Douglas Orlyk Directed by Patricia Rataj Scrooge is breaking all of the Christmas rules and making the Cratchit Family and jolly London - feel the burn. This hilarious, screwball musical send-up of a holiday favorite combines the heart-warming original, some modern time bends, and a very original holiday songs. Add some audience participation, some sing-along ghostly visits, and more. Great for families. November 25 December 30, 2016
Random Theft & Other Acts By John David Westby Directed by Marge Uhlarik-Boller This fast-paced, rollicking Fargo-esque comedy explores breaking the law and breaking personal boundaries. Follow a bank robbery gone awry and the three over-educated, under-employed suburbanites who find themselves in a perfect storm of the 2008 real-estate downturn, the economic crisis and just plain bad karma. Hint: Nobody gets away with anything, that's for certain. Funny is just the beginning January 13 February 5, 2017
Don t Drink the Water By Woody Allen Directed by Bernie Weiller Mayhem ensues when the 60 s and Communism collide somewhere across a very different border. This zinger-filled farce follows a nice American family accused of spying and trapped in a run-down U.S. Embassy in a country off the tourist map. They want to break out, the secret police want to break in, and true love wants to break hearts. Time travel back to the age of Mad Men." February 24 March 19, 2017
RUTHLESS! (The Stage Mother of all Musicals) Music by Marvin Laird Book and Lyrics by Joel Paley Directed by Kevin Wiczer Musical Direction by Matt Gruel What do you get when you combine the storylines of hit Broadway musicals, like Gypsy and Mame, and movies such as The Bad Seed and All About Eve? You get a totally hilarious take on stage mothers and their beautiful - but poisonous - offspring. A campy cult favorite, Ruthless! is a don't miss, 90- minute hilarious romp through the world of Broadway, child acting, parenthood, and unbridled ambition. Rollicking, fast-moving and hilarious!

By Christopher Durang Directed by Marge Uhlarik-Boller Middle-aged siblings long to break their everyday patterns and really live, live, live! But then reality hits when their big sister threatens to sell their house and horrors force them into a future that may or may not involve work!
