SEASON 51
September 2025 - May 2026
SPRING SHOW
Shakespeare in the Spring's
Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
Director Erin Ackman
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, written around 1601, is an entertaining comedy that navigates the themes of love, mistaken identity, and the topsy-turvy nature of human relationships. Set in the fictional kingdom of Illyria, the play follows the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. And oh my, the mixup of shenanigans that ensue, more tangled than the wrecked ship's fishing nets!
Join us for this hilarious modernized spin, sprinkled with old English and new, that keeps the whole audience, regardless of age, connected, unknowingly gaining a Shakespearean education...and, of course, giggling!

WINTER SHOW
Christmas in the Land of OZ
by Tamara Tudor
Director Becca Couch
Stage Managers
Cleo Carlson & Renae Clark
The Wicked Witch of the Northwest becomes the grinch of this delightful holiday play when she steals Christmas from Munchkinland. It takes all your Oz favorites — Dorothy and Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, the Lion, and the Munchkins to bring the yuletide holiday back. In the process, the Tin Man recovers his sense of humor, the lonely Lion finds a lady companion, and Dorothy finds the spirit of Christmas to take back to Kansas for Auntie Em and Uncle Henry.
