| | WITCHES!? In Salem!?
written by Matt Cox
directed by Alanna Kiewe
season sponsor: Valerie Lash
Sept 25 - Oct 18, 2026
Matt Cox, creator of Puffs, has written a new play which also happens to involve witches. Witches!? In Salem?! is a darkly comedic, yet (mostly) historically accurate take on the Salem Witch Trials and all the (mostly) historically accurate horrors which may occur when populism runs rampant, injustice is a day to day occurrence, and a rigid religious minority sets the laws of the land. You know, old timey problems. A companion, or an alternative, to a certain other Salem play you probably read in high school.

Mar 05 - 28, 2027
Patience is a comic operetta by W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan that satirizes the Victorian obsession with aestheticism, celebrity, and fashionable trends. The story follows the simple milkmaid Patience, who becomes caught between two rival poets while a group of lovestruck maidens and neglected soldiers compete for affection and attention. Through mistaken ideas about love and self-sacrifice, the operetta humorously exposes vanity, pretension, and the tendency to follow popular fads.
