Becky’s New Car

by Steven Dietz
Directed by Minden Dickson

Auditions – July 18-19, 2022 7 pm

Performances – August 26-September 11, 2022

Have you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in middle-age, middle management, and in a middling marriage – with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night, a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life…and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun. It’s a thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken.

Dracula

By Steven Dietz
Directed by Rebecca Condra

Auditions – August 15-16, 2022 7 pm

Performances – October 14-30, 2022

“I want your fear. For your fear, like a current, rushes through your body. Your fear makes your heart pound, it renders your veins rich and full. Your fear hemorrhages deliciously within you.” This new adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.

My Three Angels

A different kind of Christmas story with some very unlikely angels! The scene is French Guiana, a region where on Christmas day the temperature has graciously dropped to 104 degrees. Three convicts are employed as roofers by a family whose roof is in desperate need of maintenance. On the way from France is an evil-minded cousin, to oust the father of the family from his business, and his cold-blooded nephew, who is jilting the father’s daughter for an heiress. The three convicts take the visitors on. All three have warm hearts and are passionate believers in true justice. Possessing every criminal art and penal grace, they set matters right and in doing so redeem themselves as real life angels to the grateful family.

Alice in Wonderland

A whimsical tale of Alice’s adventures as she follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and meets the Cheshire Cat, the Mat Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. Alice must struggle through a mad world full of riddles and arbitrary rules, as we all must.

The father has left home; Tom supports his mother and sister with a shoe-factory job he finds unbearable. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home from his workplace a “gentleman caller” for Laura, the illusions that Tom, Amanda, and Laura have each created in order to make life bearable collapse about them.

Bus Stop

By William Inge
Directed by Jean Ames

Auditions – March 27-28, 2023 7 pm

Performances – May 5-21, 2023

In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and the weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub singer, is the passenger with the most to worry about. She’s been pursued by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. He’s ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the café and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the café also gets her first taste of romance.
