| Drinking Habits
By Tom Smith
Dates: December 6, 2024 – December 22, 2024
Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancées, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent in Drinking Habits. | Buy Tickets |

The Elf and the Reindeer
Written by Anton Five
Nothing seems to be going right after some puzzling mishaps in the Elves’ Workshop – there’s been a huge mix-up with the world’s Toys, and even Santa’s sleigh is kaput! Is it just unfortunate timing threatening to stop Christmas in its tracks? Or is there something more sinister at work? After all, the Winter Witch has never been a fan of Christmas. | Buy Tickets |
| Working (2012 Edition)
Adapted by: Nina Faso, Stephen Schwartz
Additional contributions by: Gordon Greenberg
Music by: Criag Carnelia, James Taylor, Mary Rodgers, Micki Grant, Stephen Schwartz, Susan Birkenhead, Lin-Manuel Miranda
From the book by Studs Terkel
Dates: February 28, 2025 – March 16, 2025
Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the workers that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the waitress, the millworker, and the housewife, just to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, this classic has been updated for a modern age, featuring new songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, James Taylor, Micki Grant, and more.
This new version of Working allows the audience to get a rare glimpse of the actors and technicians, working to put on a show. This raw adaptation only enhances the realistic and relatable nature of how people's relationships to their work ultimately reveal essential aspects of their humanity, regardless of the trappings of the job itself. Finally, the working people of America have a voice and we hear America sing it loud and proud. | Buy Tickets |

| The Boys Next Door
By Tom Griffin
Dates: May 2, 2025- May 18, 2025
The place is a communal residence in a New England city, where four mentally handicapped men live under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly “burned out” young social worker named Jack. Norman, who works in a doughnut shop. Lucien has the mind of a five-year-old but imagines that he can read and comprehend the weighty books he lugs about. Arnold, the ringleader of the group, is a hyperactive, compulsive chatterer, who suffers from deep anxiety. Then there is Barry, a brilliant schizophrenic who fantasizes that he is a golf pro. Take this journey through the daily lives of these four men where “little things” sometimes become momentous (and often very funny). A play with many moments of great poignancy and touching effectiveness, and we are reminded that the handicapped, like the rest of us, want only to love and laugh and find some meaning and purpose in the brief time that they, like their more fortunate brothers, are allotted on this earth. This comedy is sure to bring you joy and challenge our humanity.

I’ll Huff and I’ll Puff: the Absolutely True Story of the Big Bad Wolf
Written by Scott Quirk
One of CTHR’s most beloved productions is back! You think you know the story. Pigs. Houses. Red Cloaks. Taking baskets to Grandma's house. But you've never heard the real story - until now!
Boss Beulah Bell (a proper Southern pig) is in
charge of a little patch of countryside in the Fairytale Woods. But for Beulah, being the star of The Three Little Pigs isn’t enough. With the help of her dimwitted daughter Petaline and a well-intentioned want-ad Wolf, she plans to alter all the fairytales beyond repair.
With the help of the audience, Petaline Prunella Pig and Wyoming Wolf (a.k.a. The Big Bad) vie to stop Beulah in her quest to change the fairytales as we know them into new works, such as “The Little Pig-maid”, “Pig-nocchio”, and “Snow Pig and the Seven Dwarves”.
An engaging and interactive production that will entertain the youngest audience members, the seasoned theatre-goers, and everyone in between! | Buy Tickets |
