The Comedy of Errors
October 8 – 23, 2022
by William Shakespeare
Set in the Greek city of Ephesus, The Comedy of Errors concerns the misadventures of two sets of identical twins who were accidentally separated at birth in a shipwreck. One of Shakespeare’s early plays, it is one of his most farcical comedies, featuring mistaken identity, slapstick humor, puns, and word play.
Peter and the Starcatcher
December 3 – 18, 2022
a play by Rick Elice
music by Wayne Barker
based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
This Tony-winning imaginative and musical play, based on the best-selling novels, upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan boy becomes the legendary Peter Pan. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty and love.

And Then There Were None
March 18 – April 2, 2023
by Agatha Christie
Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins and one by one they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme.
Assassins
May 11 – 28, 2023
book by John Weidman
music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr.
Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, this multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience.
