Four women step into the chaos of the French Revolution with sharp tongues, sharper opinions, and the kind of nerve that makes history nervous. The story imagines a playwright, a royal icon, a rebel from the Caribbean, and a knife-wielding assassin crossing paths during a political storm where every joke might be dangerous and every idea might cost someone her head. What begins as a witty collision of personalities grows into a lively argument about art, courage, freedom, friendship, and who gets remembered when the history books start acting selective. The comedy has a modern bite, letting these women spar like old friends, rivals, co-conspirators, and accidental therapists while the world outside grows more unstable by the minute. There is powdered-wig glamour, revolutionary panic, gallows humor, and enough verbal fencing to make the air crackle. Under the laughter sits something more serious: the dream of building a better future while standing in a present that seems determined to burn itself down. It is bold, brainy, and delightfully dangerous, with history treated less like a dusty textbook and more like a room full of brilliant women refusing to stay quiet.

Current Production
 | • JUN 4 - JUN 28, 2026 • The Toxic Avenger, The Musical / Musical For Tickets & Info: A dripping dose of mutant mayhem turns a grimy New Jersey town into a comic-book carnival of pollution, romance, revenge, and gloriously ridiculous rock-and-roll attitude. The story follows an awkward underdog whose life is flipped upside down after a toxic accident transforms him into an unlikely green-skinned crusader with a mop, a conscience, and a serious problem with corrupt local leadership. Around him swirls a crooked mayor, a sweet blind librarian, shady businessmen, and a parade of wildly over-the-top citizens who treat civic disaster like just another Tuesday. The fun comes from the clash between monster-movie weirdness and musical-theatre sparkle, with jokes flying fast and the songs kicking like a garage band that drank too much radioactive soda. Beneath the goofball surface, there is a scrappy little heart beating away about being seen, doing the right thing, and finding love when your personal grooming situation has become, shall we say, complicated. It is messy, loud, cheeky, and happily unhinged in the best B-movie tradition, with enough outrageous quick changes and wink-at-the-audience lunacy to make the whole thing feel like a radioactive vaudeville act. | ||

Coming Soon
• OPENS SEP 3, 2026 • The Revolutionists / Play | |||
• OPENS OCT 23, 2026 • Mean Girls, The Musical / Musical High school becomes a jungle with better shoes, sharper eyeliner, and rules so strange they might as well be carved into a cafeteria tray. A new student raised far from the usual social circus suddenly finds herself dropped into a world of cliques, gossip, crushes, status games, and one very polished queen bee whose smile can feel like a weather warning. The story moves with pop-musical energy as friendships form, alliances wobble, and the temptation to fit in starts tugging harder than common sense. What makes the ride so much fun is the way teenage absurdity gets blown up into a bright, fast, hilarious social battlefield, where a hallway can feel like a runway and a rumor can travel faster than a Wi-Fi signal. Beneath the jokes and catchy songs, there is a smart little sting about identity, kindness, insecurity, and the price of becoming popular by pretending to be someone else. It is pink, punchy, dramatic, and wonderfully savage without losing its heart, turning cafeteria politics into a glittery cautionary tale about power, belonging, and the brutal art of surviving adolescence. | |||
• OPENS NOV 27, 2026 • Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat / Musical A young dreamer with a flashy coat and a habit of seeing more than everyone around him finds himself swept from family squabbles into a wild journey of jealousy, betrayal, survival, and unexpected triumph. The story turns an ancient tale into a bright musical parade, where sibling rivalry gets a Technicolor makeover and every new chapter seems to change rhythm, flavor, and mood. One moment it feels like pop concert sparkle, the next it swings through country twang, island bounce, rock energy, or cheeky comic swagger. At the center is a character who learns that dreams can be both gift and burden, especially when the people closest to you are the first to roll their eyes. The show keeps the tone playful and family-friendly without flattening the emotional stakes, letting forgiveness, resilience, and hope sneak in between the laughs and big musical numbers. It is cheerful, fast-moving, and built like a stage-sized box of crayons dumped joyfully across a Bible story, complete with big emotions, comic detours, bright theatrical color, and songs that seem absolutely determined to leave everyone humming afterward. | |||
• OPENS JAN 21, 2027 • Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play / Play After civilization flickers out, a small group of survivors gathers around a fire and clings to one unlikely treasure: a half-remembered cartoon episode. What starts as people trying to reconstruct jokes from memory slowly becomes something stranger, larger, and almost sacred. The story leaps across time to show how scraps of pop culture can harden into ritual, mythology, entertainment, and even belief when the old world is gone and people need something familiar to hold onto. There is dark comedy in the awkward details, especially as memory proves unreliable and everyone insists they remember the “right” version. But the play keeps widening its lens, turning a simple campfire pastime into a haunting look at storytelling itself. Why do humans repeat stories? Why do we dress grief in performance? Why does a silly phrase or song survive when so much else disappears? The result is odd, funny, eerie, and surprisingly moving, like watching civilization rebuild itself from canned goods, fear, and reruns, then slowly polish those fragments into something grand, strange, theatrical, and almost religious. | |||
• OPENS MAR 12, 2027 • The Hobbit / Play A comfort-loving homebody with no interest in danger gets pulled into a quest that is far too large, far too noisy, and definitely not approved by any sensible breakfast schedule. Before long, the reluctant traveler is on the road with a wizard and a company of dwarves, stumbling toward mountains, riddles, goblins, treasure, and one very memorable dragon problem. The charm comes from watching someone small, polite, and thoroughly unprepared discover courage in little pieces, often while everyone around him is busy making heroic plans that sound terrible for his health. The adventure has the flavor of an old fireside tale, full of maps, songs, shadows, caves, and creatures that seem to have wandered out of a dream with teeth. It is playful enough for families but sturdy enough to carry real wonder, asking whether bravery is something you are born with or something you find after being pushed out the door. The result is cozy, thrilling, and beautifully old-fashioned in the best storybook sense, with danger, humor, homesickness, and unexpected friendship all packed into one very reluctant road trip. | |||
• OPENS APR 15, 2027 • Inherit the Wind / Play A small-town courtroom becomes the center of a national argument when a teacher is put on trial and two towering legal minds collide over science, faith, education, and the freedom to think. The drama is inspired by one of America’s most famous public battles, but its power comes from how familiar the conflict still feels. Neighbors turn into spectators, beliefs become weapons, and a legal case becomes a stage where an entire community wrestles with fear, pride, conviction, and change. The play does not reduce the fight to cardboard heroes and villains; it lets the audience feel the heat on both sides as public pressure, personal history, and moral certainty crowd the room. The language has that grand old American thunder, the kind that fills a courtroom like a summer storm rolling across the plains. Beneath the arguments is a sharp warning about what happens when a society grows afraid of questions. It is tense, thoughtful, and built for audiences who like their drama with a backbone, where every objection, speech, and silence seems to carry the weight of a country arguing with itself. | |||
• OPENS JUN 3, 2027 • Floyd Collins / Musical A cave explorer chasing discovery becomes trapped underground, and what begins as a desperate rescue effort turns into a strange collision of hope, fear, faith, ambition, and public spectacle. Set in 1920s Kentucky, the story descends into darkness both literal and human, following the people above and below ground as they struggle against time, terrain, and the growing noise of outside attention. The music gives the piece its pulse, blending folk, bluegrass, and theatrical sweep into something that feels earthy, mournful, and deeply alive. There is adventure here, but not the shiny kind; this is the rough-edged kind made of mud, lantern light, aching voices, and the awful realization that fame can gather around suffering like flies around a porch lamp. The story asks hard questions without turning cold: Who gets to be saved? Who gets to be used? And how quickly does compassion become curiosity? It is intimate, atmospheric, and haunting, with the feeling of a ballad echoing through stone, carried by people trying to reach one man while the whole world leans in to watch. | |||
• OPENS JUL 23, 2027 • The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical / Musical A teenager discovers that family drama is a little more complicated when one parent happens to be a Greek god. Suddenly, ordinary adolescent confusion explodes into monsters, prophecies, quests, camp politics, and a race to prevent divine tempers from turning the world into collateral damage. The story moves with the snap of a rock musical, giving ancient mythology a modern, wisecracking pulse while still keeping the emotional core grounded in friendship, identity, and the ache of feeling out of place. The fun is in the mash-up: sneakers and swords, sarcasm and destiny, awkward crushes and immortal grudges, all charging forward with comic speed. The young hero is not polished, fearless, or conveniently perfect, which makes the adventure work; he is confused, brave when he has to be, and surrounded by friends who are dealing with their own scars and secrets. It is a bright, action-packed mythological road trip with heart, humor, and enough lightning in the air to make everyone check the sky, while still finding room for loyalty, self-doubt, and growing up under impossible expectations. |
