Save Hamlet!

February 25th-28th, 2027

In this version of Hamlet, a lot of the characters turn out to be women in disguise. They realize if they don't step in, the whole thing is going to end in a tragedy. With women now in charge, it's Shakespeare's famous play, but funnier and less murder-y.

“This fun retelling of Hamlet is genius! Calling out famous quotes and wreaking havoc on this normally dark tragedy in the best possible way. Teens and young adults will love being in this wisecracking, silly, and insightfully funny rollercoaster ride. And audiences will have side aches from laughing so hard. A real gem!” - Karen Fix Curry

Ruthless! The Musical

April 22nd-25th, 2027

Ruthless! is a campy, dark-comedy musical that spoofs classic films and stage shows. Eight-year-old Tina Denmark knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking, and she will do anything to win the part in her school musical. "Anything" includes murdering the leading lady! This aggressively outrageous musical hit garnered rave reviews during its long Off-Broadway run.

Book and lyrics by Joel Paley and music by Marvin Laird

“A wonderfully smart and funny send-up of every Broadway brat from Gypsy to The Bad Seed... loaded with campy wit and charm.” – Variety
