A tale of good versus evil. Dr. Jekyll takes science into his own hands and the result is Mr. Hyde, an evil alter ego that causes violence and destruction. Adding to the drama is a love triangle with two women both in love with the good doctor, unaware of his alter ego. “A stunningly beautiful steampunk vision with great music, costumes, projections, and sets,” wrote Mark Kennedy, Associated Press.
Contains adult themes and violence. Not recommended for children under 13.

Matilda Wormwood is an exceptionally gifted child with an extraordinary love of books, an incredibly vivid imagination, and just plain rotten luck in the parental department. Along with her friends and her teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda stands up for justice against the headmistress (appropriately dubbed “The Trunchbull”) and other adults who “can’t be bothered with the affairs of “wretched, filthy children.”
Rated PG for thematic elements, exaggerated bullying and some language.
(Estimated) 2 hours and 30 minutes with an intermission.

Written by William Shakespeare
Produced by Margaret Chapman & Christine Tankersly
Directed by Joey Pierce
Set against the jazzy streets and festive vibes of modern-day New Orleans, William Shakespeare’s timeless Rom-Com comes to life. “There is a merry war” between the sharp-tongued Beatrice and Benedick, whose playful banter masks their growing affection for each other while their friends conspire to bring them together. Meanwhile, the earnest Claudio and Hero’s romance is put to the test by a series of deceptions. With vibrant characters, clever plot twists, and a delightful mix of love and laughter, this romantic comedy promises an exhilarating ride from start to finish. Get ready for a fantastical romp filled with clever quips, spirited antics, and a heartwarming finale!

What would happen if Sherlock Holmes and Monty Python had an illegitimate Broadway baby? You’d get New York and London’s award-winning comedy! Called “the funniest play Broadway has ever seen” (Huffington Post), this classic murder mystery is chock-full of mishaps, mayhem, and madcap mania! Welcome to the opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “comic gold” (Variety) sure to bring down the house.
