Gather the entire family for the return of your favorite holiday theatrical tradition – A CHRISTMAS STORY live on stage! The world’s most famous nine-year-old – Ralphie Parker – takes us on a hysterical, hijinks-filled avalanche of adventure filled with all the trappings of a perfect family holiday – an exploding furnace, a perfect pair of pink bunny pajamas, and a wild rash of theatrical fantasies not for the “fra-gee-lay” of heart.  Come see this beloved Christmas story live on stage for a night filled with madcap humor, iconic characters, and the true warmth of the holiday season

What do you do when you have three geriatric sisters as patients and all they want to do is sit at home and talk to one another—all at the same time? You move another person in with them. At least, that's what Doc Lomax does when he has a new nurse needing a place to live—a nurse with a secret, that is. The hard part is convincing the sisters they need a roomer. In no time, however, Nurse Jean has them planning parties, pulling Halloween pranks and wearing jogging suits while they race each other to the corner. But when the nephew shows up with a plan to sell the family house, things seem to get complicated again, especially with Christmas just around the corner. This heartwarming piece is loaded with wisecracks and one-liners that keep the laughter flowing.

"The Hallelujah Girls,' a laugh out loud comedy play. Hilarity ensues when five vivacious ladies of Eden Falls, Georgia decide to take matters into their own hands. After burying their lifelong friend, the ladies decide to buy the old abandoned church and turn it into a spa in order to achieve a lifelong dream. Trouble ensues as Bunny, the antagonist, stops at nothing to steal the spa. Outside of that, each lady has an individual issue. Sugar Lee, the determined leader, has to keep personal matters aside in order to keep the spa up and running. Carlene has given up on romance since she has had to bury three husbands. Nita's son is on probation and unmotivated, causing Nita to be in the middle of the mess. Mavis' marriage has lost its spark. A story of friendship survives in a world of chaos as these women rally together to overcome obstacles and improve their lives. Get busy living, or get busy dying, this is their last chance to get it right.

It is December of 1818. The small Austrian village of Oberndorf bei Salzburg has seen much hardship: war, poverty, flooding. Now in the midst of a blizzardy cold winter, an assistant priest and a poor schoolmaster strive to lift the spirits of the congregation of St. Nicholas Church with an extra special Christmas Eve program. But there are more problems. The already ailing church organ is destroyed through a misunderstanding by the schoolmaster’s autistic son, Nicholas, who then, despondent, runs away from home. In the midst of this turmoil, the schoolmaster and priest come together to produce the world’s most beloved Christmas song, “Silent Night.” Silent Night is a celebration of peace and togetherness, but mostly it is a testament to the power of love during the holiday season.

This electrifying tale of a creature cast away by his creator into a hostile world—only to wind his way back in a dangerous game of destruction—has captivated audiences for over 200 years. The gothic story comes to life with Nick Dear’s adaptation of the chilling fable by Mary Shelley, animating the themes of social rejection, intellectual hubris, and the nascency of good and evil.

When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach – among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities – but, after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and always hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father’s funeral, the Turpins’ other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion: Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself silly as the funeral bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling financial ruin, a pack of no-neck monster kids, and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in the family car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as she does life, by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than two cents. As the situation becomes fraught with mishap, Ray-Bud says to his long-suffering wife, “When I die, don’t tell nobody. Just bury me in the backyard and tell everybody I left you.” Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through their hours of need, and finally, the funeral.

The Ashley Maureen Cosmetics Company has been sold and two of its vice presidents, David McGrachen and John Baker, have planned a weekend off before the new C.E.O. arrives on Monday. With their wives safely off on a shopping spree in New York City, they check into The Oakfield Golf and Country Club intending to "golf their brains out." They unexpectedly encounter their new boss, Ms. Hutchison, and she insists on meeting the wives, commenting blithely "no one who went golfing for a weekend without his wife would ever work for me." So ... David and John have to produce wives. John persuades Tina, the hotel's sexy receptionist, to play the role of his wife, but the only one who can pretend to be David's wife is...JOHN! Inevitably everything goes wrong as John moves in and out of bedrooms, changing from male to female at a frantic pace. Hilarious chaos ensues when the hotel phone system goes on the blink, Tina has too much champagne and can't keep her clothes on, and, yes, the real wives arrive!

Paranormal investigations were never this scary! “Ghost Stories” is based on the urban legend of Bloody Mary, and follows a girl named Elly who lost her parents in an accident a number of years back. She had an harrowing experience the night they died that made her believe in ghosts, so she put together her own ghost-hunting team and went out to prove their existence. Elly spent the next three years without proof of paranormal activity. But on this night, in the home of Mary Worth, they finally make contact. The only question is whether or not they’ll make it out alive to tell the tale.” Four performances the weekend of October 28th.

A celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there, Church Basement Ladies is a musical comedy featuring four distinct characters and their relationships as they organize the food and solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church about to undergo changes in 1965. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young bride-to-be learning the proper order of things, we see them handle a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter fundraiser, and a steaming hot July wedding. They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the Pastor on course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other as the true "steel magnolias" of the church. Funny and down to earth, audiences will recognize these ladies as they witness the church year unfold from below the house of God.
