Duck Hunter Shoots Angel
By Mitch Albom
March 17-19 & 23-25, 2017
This is an uproarious story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel. As they lament their fates in a murky swamp, they are pursued by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant photographer, who don't believe any of it—until feathers, wings and a tiara are discovered along the way. The play interweaves a love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations and cultural stereotypes as the chase to find the angel builds to a crescendo in the swamp. Ultimately a sweet allegory about redemption, this is a comedy with a surprisingly heartfelt lesson.

Always a Bridesmaid
By Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hopen
May 12-14 & 18-20, 2017
In this hilarious comedic romp, four friends keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other's weddings... no matter what. More than thirty years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making "the long walk" for each other, determined to honor that vow. Libby Ruth, the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage, believes -- despite all evidence to the contrary -- that her friends can find the same happiness. Headstrong Deedra's "rock-solid" union hangs by a thread when she discovers her husband of many years has a wandering eye. Monette, flashy, high-spirited and self-involved, continues to test her friends' patience with all-too-frequent trips down the aisle. And salt-of-the-earth, tree-hugging Charlie discovers the hard way that marital bliss is not the at end of her rainbow -- then panics when the opportunity presents itself.

The Sunshine Boys
By Neil Simon

Al and Willie as "Lewis and Clark" were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren't even speaking to each other. When CBS requests them for a "History of Comedy" retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.
