Ex-astronaut Chad Williams was the last man ever to walk on the moon … and the only man to have been disgraced on the lunar surface!  Permanently blacklisted by NASA, Chad has been reduced to a life of humiliation, eking out a living as a third-rate celebrity pitchman on late-night TV commercials (“carpet so soft, you’ll swear you’re walking on the moon!”).   Chad is presented with an opportunity to redeem himself and regain his place in the spotlight, and blasts off into an orbit of celebrity infamy.  Walking on the Moon has been called "a scathing parody of the dark side of human nature," and "biting satire."

The Pirates of Penzance is a swashbuckling operetta full of hilarity, hijinks, and heart.

Expect bumbling policemen, noble pirates, and a cast of characters so absurdly endearing, they’ll steal your heart—without looting your valuables. Fast-paced, family-friendly, and musically masterful, The Pirates of Penzance is a joyous escape into a world where operatic absurdity reigns supreme.

Hamlet and Gretel: Original Practice

  • Jun 5, 6 at 8pm

Hamlet and Gretel: Original Practice takes audiences on a wild, imaginative journey where Shakespearean drama collides with timeless fairy tales—all performed in the spirit of Elizabethan theatre. Before scripts were printed and rehearsal rooms were standard, actors took the stage with little preparation and even less predictability. In this bold experiment, we return to that raw, spontaneous tradition. A night of Shakespeare’s highlights performed using Original Practice: minimal rehearsal, cue scripts, and a healthy dose of chaos. And just for fun... we'll use the same technique with your favorite fairy tales. Each performance is unique, alive, and utterly unpredictable—just the way Shakespeare wanted it.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame delivers a sweeping, emotionally rich musical inspired by Victor Hugo’s classic novel and the beloved Disney film.

The Drowsy Chaperone is a sparkling love letter to musical theatre, filled with big laughs, show‑stopping numbers, and irresistible charm.

Fast‑paced, clever, and delightfully absurd, this Tony‑winning comedy promises a joyful escape into pure theatrical fun.
