Written by Ken Ludwig, this madcap murder-mystery follows a troupe of actors helmed by the famously wealthy William Gillette. Fresh off a stage production of Sherlock Holmes and gathered at a holiday party at Gillette’s secluded home, the actors find themselves in the center of a real-life murder mystery. Can they figure out whodunnit before the police jump to their own conclusions?

PLEASE NOTE: This production includes gunshots, lightning (strobe lighting), simulated murder, blood and gore, and intense sequences.

Join us in September for a fantastic Fall production of As You Like It, Shakespeare's pastoral romp through the forests and fields of Arden. In As You Like It, Shakespeare produced some of his most beloved comedic characters, and most memorable moments.

Professional director and educator Jeremy Wilhelm helms his first production upon returning to the area, after having lived and worked for years in New York, Philadelphia and Minneapolis. Our second annual Shakespeare in the Park will feature a fun, physical performance style as actors from throughout the Corridor bring this classic to life.

Join us for pre-show shenanigans starting at 6:00 PM. We will be serving wine, beer, hard seltzer, and (non-alcoholic) lemonade. Please, no outside drinks other than water. You may bring a picnic to enjoy in the park, or you may purchase food from one of the vendors at the show.

A musical about a musical? A comedy with a musical attached? Actors who sing? Singers who act? However you describe it, The Drowsy Chaperone is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. It’s fast, it’s funny, it’s bawdy, and silly. And from start to finish, it’s a rollicking good time.

The full cast list is available here.

Based on the children’s book by Kate diCamillo, this stage adaptation by Dwayne Hartford allows an ensemble of actors to tell the story of Edward, a beautifully made toy rabbit with a trunkful of different outfits but no heart.  Edward’s adventures and the characters he meets make for an engaging folktale appropriate for ALL AGES.  The storytellers are Kim Benesh, Mary Blacharski, Bill Croghan, Carley Hutson, Braden JP Rood, and Amy White.  Grant Freeman is directing, assisted by stage manager Audrey Tucker.
