Director - Sean Frith
The show where Hitchcock meets hilarious! A faced paced farce based on the 1935 thriller. Adventure and danger are the key words for hero, Richard Hannay, after a chance encounter with a beautiful spy. He runs from police, and would be assassins while trying to uncover a plot to steal British military secrets. Part of the genius of this piece is that entire story is portrayed with only 4 actors. It will leave you wondering, “How did they do that!?”

by William Shakespeare
Director - Julie Brinker
Beware –a lust for power at all costs may cost you everything. Armed with the prophecies of three witches, Macbeth and his wife commit multiple murders to secure Macbeth’s place as king.

Laughter on the 23rd Floor (Jan. 27 - Feb. 5)
by David Auburn
Director - Amy Jackson
Neil Simon looks behind the scenes of a successful comedy and finds more comedy! Based on Simon’s experiences as a young writer, the real wackiness of a 1953 TV comedy show, according to Simon, took place in the writers’ room. As the show’s star battles with network executives about creative content of the show, the quick-witted writers collaborate and kibitz with one another to keep up. This production contains strong language.

A powerful post-WWII drama that still resonates today.
