Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors
Comedy / PG
By Gordon Greenberg & Steve Rosen
Directed by Dane Hosler
​
September 11-28, 2025
Take Bram Stoker's legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps and you get a lightning-fast, laugh-out- loud, 90-minute, gender-bending reimagining of the literary classic. When Mina falls ill with a mysterious blood disease, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics.

Having Hope At Home
Comedy / PG
By David S. Craig
Directed by Anthony R. Haigh
November 13-30, 2025
On a cold night in a drafty farmhouse, Carolyn goes into labor just as her parents arrive for Thanksgiving dinner. She can't tell her father, an obstetrician, that she is having a home birth. She must pretend everything is normal, including passing off the midwife as the vet! When family feuding begins over where this baby should be born, tensions rise and so does the laughter. A light comedy with serious intentions shows us how the human heart sometimes takes the long way home.

Murdered To Death
Comedy-Mystery / PG
By Peter Gordon
Directed by Gary McCormick
​
January 15-February 1, 2026
This hilarious spoof of the best of Agatha Christie traditions is set in a country manor house with a cast of characters guaranteed to delight. Bunting, the butler; an English Colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling local inspector and a well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes, are all caught up in the side-splitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the house’s owner. Will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will readers and audiences die laughing first?

The Diary of Anne Frank
Drama / PG
By Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett
Newly Adapted by Wendy Kesselman
Directed by Austin Vahle
​
March 19-April 5, 2026
In this transcendently powerful adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence-their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief.

Ken Ludwig's The Gods of Comedy
Comedy / PG
by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Graeme Hart
​
May 21-June 7, 2026
Daphne and Ralph are young classics professors who have just made a discovery that's sure to turn them into academic superstars. But something goes disastrously wrong, and Daphne cries out in a panic, "Save me, gods of ancient Greece!"...and the gods actually appear! The Ivy League will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounters the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption.
