| | As Time Goes By
Time Travel. Comedy. Heart.
By G. Matthew Gaskell Directed by Jamie Bradley
Billy is not exactly from around here.
An inexplicable visitor from the future, he arrives with one mission: to prevent young Susie Peabody and her fiancé Tommy Brady from spending this one particular night together. Why? Because if they do, the consequences could ripple across time itself.
Determined to keep fate on track, Billy risks tearing a hole in the space-time continuum as he repeatedly intervenes in the lives of the Peabody family. But the more he meddles with time, the more one stubborn force refuses to cooperate:
Love.
Blending retro nostalgia, mad-science time travel, and a healthy dose of comic chaos, As Time Goes By is a wildly imaginative mash-up of Leave It to Beaver, Back to the Future, and Groundhog Day. Expect looping timelines, baffled lovers, cosmic frustration, and the realization that some things—no matter how hard we try—are simply meant to be.
You’ll laugh. You might even tear up.
And by the end, you may feel an overwhelming urge to call your mother.

| | AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
Murder. Suspense. 1930s.
By Agatha Christie Directed by Ben Bagley
Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island mansion—each drawn there for reasons that don’t quite add up. None of them knows their elusive host, and yet… it soon becomes clear that someone knows far more about them than they do about each other.
Not long after they arrive, the atmosphere shifts. What begins as unease turns into something sharper, more dangerous. A pattern emerges—one that feels anything but accidental.
Isolated from the mainland, with trust eroding by the hour, the guests are forced into a quiet, mounting realization: the danger isn’t outside the house… it’s already among them.
Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, the best-selling mystery of all time, is a masterfully constructed thriller packed with shocking twists, mounting suspense, and one of the most famous endings in theatre history. | Buy tickets | |

| | The Last Reputable Acquaintance of Mr. Hyde
Desire. Identity. Victorian.
Written and directed by Alicia Napolitano
Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale, The Last Reputable Acquaintance of Mr. Hyde retells the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from a daring new perspective.
Gabriel J. Utterson has long been the loyal friend and confidant of the brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll. But beneath years of friendship lie feelings neither man has ever dared to name.
When the mysterious Edward Hyde enters their lives, everything begins to unravel.
As Utterson finds himself irresistibly drawn to Hyde’s dangerous charisma, Henry struggles to contain forces within himself that threaten to destroy them all.
Torn between loyalty, desire, and fear, Utterson must confront the terrifying truth behind Jekyll’s experiments — and the cost of denying one’s true nature.
Dark, seductive, and psychologically gripping, this new play explores identity, and the perilous consequences of burying our deepest selves.

| | HEDDA GABLER
Charm. Power. Manipulation.
By Henrik Ibsen, Adapted by Brian Friel
Directed by Fiona DeVito
Recently returned from her honeymoon, Hedda finds herself trapped in a life she never truly wanted — a comfortable home, a well-meaning husband, and a future that feels unbearably predictable.
But Hedda Gabler was never meant for an ordinary life.
When an old rival reappears, a former lover resurfaces, and a quiet friend becomes unexpectedly powerful, Hedda begins to play a dangerous game — manipulating the people around her with wit, charm, and a growing appetite for control.
What begins as social maneuvering soon spirals into something far more explosive.
In this gripping adaptation by acclaimed Irish playwright Brian Friel, Henrik Ibsen’s electrifying masterpiece comes vividly to life: a psychological drama about power, desire, and the restless human spirit that refuses to be confined.
Darkly funny, startlingly modern, and fueled by one of theatre’s most fascinating characters, Hedda Gabler remains one of the most thrilling roles ever written for the stage. | Buy tickets | |
| | THE CAKE
Faith. Choice. Dessert.
By Bekah Brunstetter
Directed by Monique Peaslee Foote
Della makes the best cakes in town.
For years, she has lovingly baked birthday cakes, wedding cakes, and celebration cakes of every kind in her small North Carolina bakery. So when Jen — a young woman she helped raise — comes home to ask Della to bake a cake for her wedding, it should be a joyful reunion.
There’s just one small surprise.
Jen’s wedding cake is for her marriage to another woman.
Suddenly, Della finds herself caught between the deep love she feels for Jen and the beliefs she has held her entire life. With the help (and occasional confusion) of her sweet but bewildered husband Tim, Della begins a journey that challenges her understanding of faith, family, and what it truly means to love thy neighbor.
Written by Bekah Brunstetter (writer and producer of the hit series This Is Us), The Cake is a warm, funny, and deeply human comedy about kindness, change, and the messy, beautiful work of understanding one another.

| | ISABELLA MET A FELLA
Farce. Physicality. Chaos.
Written By Kevin P. Kern
Directed by David Kaye
Isabella has just returned from finishing school, full of romantic dreams… and immediately handed a list of wealthy men to marry by her father, the gloriously greedy Pantalone.
But Isabella has other ideas. She wants love—real love.
Meanwhile, Silvio has loved Isabella for years. The clever servants Arlecchino and Colombina hatch a plan to bring the lovers together—if they can outmaneuver controlling parents, absurd suitors, and a system that treats love like a business transaction.
What follows is a delicious spiral of disguises, double-crosses, fake identities, last-minute schemes, and escalating absurdity—complete with runaway weddings, swapped costumes, surprise revelations, and a mother with a score to settle.
Every character is driven by one thing—love, money, freedom, or pure vanity—and none of them are particularly good at getting what they want.
The result? A fast, physical, wildly funny comedy where nothing goes according to plan… until, somehow, everything does!

| | A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
Soulful. Delicate. Human.
By Samuel D. Hunter Directed by Tyler Christie
In collaboration with BARDO Theatre Company
Inside a small office in Idaho, two single fathers meet to discuss the mortgage on a modest piece of land. What begins as a routine conversation between a loan officer and his client slowly unfolds into something far more profound.
Over a series of quiet encounters, Keith and Ryan share stories of fatherhood, loss, hope, and the fragile ways we try to build a life for ourselves and the people we love. As their conversations deepen, an unlikely friendship begins to form — one that gently asks what it means to believe in goodness, connection, and the possibility of grace in an uncertain world.
With remarkable tenderness and subtle humor, Pulitzer Prize finalist Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) crafts a deeply moving portrait of two ordinary men searching for stability, meaning, and a place to belong.
Intimate, compassionate, and quietly powerful, A Case for the Existence of God reminds us that sometimes the most extraordinary revelations emerge from the most ordinary conversations.

| | THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE
Edward Tulane is a very elegant rabbit. Made of china, dressed in fine clothes, and adored by a little girl named Abilene, he lives a comfortable life filled with admiration — mostly for himself.
But when an unexpected accident sends Edward overboard during an ocean voyage, his carefully ordered world is shattered. Swept far from home, Edward begins an extraordinary journey that carries him through the hands and hearts of many strangers: a fisherman and his kind wife, a lonely child, a traveling hobo, and others who teach him lessons he never imagined.
With each new encounter, Edward slowly discovers something he never knew he was missing: the courage to love.
Tender, imaginative, and filled with quiet wonder, "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" is a story about loss, resilience, and the transformative power of opening one’s heart again — even after it has been broken.
Perfect for audiences of all ages, this enchanting theatrical adaptation brings to life a modern classic about hope, compassion, and the many surprising ways we find our way back to one another. | Buy tickets | |
