The Woman In Black
October 16 | 10:30 AM
​
A story that refuses to stay buried. Arthur Kipps has carried a dreadful secret for years—determined to confront his darkest memories, he hires a young actor to help bring his nightmare to life and finally put it to rest. But as the rehearsals unfold, something sinister stirs in the shadows. In this haunting stage adaptation of Susan Hill’s ghost story, The Woman in Black pulls audiences into the mystery of Eel Marsh House, where shadows stretch long, voices whisper in the wind, and an inescapable terror lurks just out of sight. Join us if you dare—because once you see her, there’s no turning back.
CONTENT TRANSPARENCY: Moments of suspense that may be frightening for younger audiences, mentions of generational trauma and supernatural violence and infanticide
GRADE RECOMMENDATION: Grades 7+
EMMA
December 11 | 10:30 AM
1815 promises to be another eventful holiday season for clever Miss Emma Woodhouse. Highbury’s most charming- if somewhat meddlesome- young lady is once again indulging in her favorite pastime: matchmaking. With a most inconvenient interest in everyone else’s affairs, this author wonders– will her schemes lead to love or disaster? As snow falls and hearts flutter, one truth remains universally acknowledged: not even the lovely Emma Woodhouse is immune to the unpredictable arrows of Cupid.
CONTENT TRANSPARENCY: Moments of mild suggestive adult language.

PRIMARY TRUST
February 12 | 10:30 AM
February 19 | 10:30 AM
Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Eboni Booth’s hilarious and heartwarming play offers up a modern, tiki-lit homage to slices of Americana such as Our Town, Harvey, and It's a Wonderful Life. Kenneth’s predictable life—Mai Tais at his favorite bar and a steady job at a local bookstore—begins to unravel, forcing him to confront a childhood loss and the uncertainties of adulthood. With guidance from an imaginary friend, a kind waitress, and a splash of liquid courage, he discovers that trust, love, and friendship—much like the perfect Mai Tai—are best mixed in unexpected ways.
CONTENT TRANSPARENCY: Adult language and mentions of grief surrounding the death of a parent that occurred during childhood
GRADE RECOMMENDATION: Grades 9+
GYPSY
April 9 | 10:15 AM*
*Special curtain time
The Mother of All Musicals: One of the greatest musicals of all time, Gypsy features music by Jule Styne, a book by Arthur Laurents, and lyrics that put a young Stephen Sondheim on the map. Based on the memoirs of the iconic Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy is the larger-than-life American story that follows the ultimate stage mom as she pushes her daughters toward stardom—whether they like it or not. With dazzling showbiz numbers, sharp humor, and an unforgettable score featuring “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Let Me Entertain You”, this timeless classic is equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, and completely showstopping.
CONTENT TRANSPARENCY: Moments of suggestive adult language and behaviors, depictions of burlesque performance.
GRADE RECOMMENDATION: Grades 9+
