While holding true to the story, this version goes back to the original imagery of Dicken’s writing—allowing audiences to experience the beauty & detail of the original. If you experienced this the few years, be sure to grab your tickets to see this explosive new version that takes you on an unforgettable journey with Ebenezer Scrooge, through the eyes of each magnetic ghost as audience members become part of the story.

This immerse & interactive classic (with a twist) experience becomes grander each year, and is the perfect way to spend the holidays with family & friends.“

In 1994, a play called The Vagina Monologues, written by playwright and activist V (formerly Eve Ensler), broke ground, offering to the world a piece of art like nothing it had seen before. Based on dozens of interviews V conducted with women, the play addressed women’s sexuality and the social stigma surrounding rape and abuse, creating a new conversation about and with women.

Synopsis | Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme… You better get me to school on time! Andrew Lloyd Webber’sSchool of Rock – The Musical is a two-hour, two-act show (plus intermission), based on the hit movie. The tuner follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight–A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out? May the spirit of rock be with all who pledge allegiance to Lloyd Webber’s newest hit!

Join us for an evening of heartfelt & humorous musical theatre selections on our mainstage as you journey through accounts of how love changes who we are and shapes how we walk through the world. Solos and duets are performed by Players on High actors, and is accompanied by Maddie Felix.

“A romantic comedy about a marriage and a dog. Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after twenty-two years of child-raising in the suburbs. Greg’s career as a financial trader is winding down, while Kate’s career, as a public-school English teacher, is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.”

On April 4th and 5th we will be delving into the realms of roleplaying and are looking for talented players, actors, or anyone who is up for the monumental task of playing pretend and rolling dice on stage. 4-5 Players will be led by our resident Dungeon Master on a two night journey into the home-brewed world of Entropy, where Gods and Mortals co-mingle and the ever looming horror of the Plot is kept ever at bay by the world’s heroes (who do their best not to care).

"The Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman learns he has terminal cancer. His unique and whimsical genius has tackled such puzzles as the Manhattan project, quantum electrodynamics, the space shuttle Challenger disaster, and playing bongo drums onstage in South Pacific. You are in his office with him, as he puzzles over the biggest problem he has ever faced: his own death."
