White Christmas

Based on the beloved, timeless film, this classic show centers around veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis who have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander. This heartwarming musical adaptation features many of Irving Berlin’s well known standards including Blue Skies, I Love A Piano, How Deep Is the Ocean and the perennial favorite, White Christmas. WHITE CHRISTMAS is an uplifting musical you won’t want to miss!

Into The Woods

In this classic musical by Stephen Sondheim, the world of fairy tales is fractured in a powerful and tuneful way. When a baker and his wife learn they have been cursed by the witch next door, they embark on a quest to break the spell by swindling, lying to, and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). However, what begins a lively irreverent fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children when the characters are forced to face the consequences of their actions.

Rodgers & Hart’s quintessential “Let’s put on a show!” musical, boasting one of the greatest scores ever written.

Featuring the classic Broadway hits “My Funny Valentine,” “The Lady is a Tramp” and “Where and When,” BABES IN ARMS celebrates the excitement of youth with cheering voices and tapping feet.

The Dining Room

Gurney’s “Dining Room” is a touching and funny elegy about the decline of formal dining in America.

It makes a case that people need time and space together to truly connect - a time and place where generations learn from each other.

“The Dining Room” - where we learn to become a family.
