A new play by Kenneth Jones Directed by Cushing Phillips
In the panhandle of Nebraska, two actresses of a certain age are making a homecoming in their dying small town. Jane's in from L.A. to check up on her ailing mother, Alma. Andrea's back from New York to bury her father. Will a disappearing dot on the map of the Great Plains provide a second act for each of them? In the quiet of their hometown — and with two local men entering their old stomping ground — the women are moved to explore feelings about lost parents, thwarted aspirations and what it means to be successful, leading to a showdown between Jane and her plainspoken mother. It's a new rueful comedy about the urge to be creative, the itch to move away and the ache of reconnecting with the family and feelings that you thought you left behind.

| | Four Weddings and an Elvis
Sandy, the four-times-married, three-times-divorced owner of a wedding chapel in Las Vegas, has certainly seen her fair share of matrimonies! In the hilarious FOUR WEDDINGS AND AN ELVIS, we witness four of her most interesting: Bev and Stan, who are getting married as revenge on their exes; Vanessa and Bryce, two arrogant former Hollywood stars who are tying the knot as a publicity ploy; and Martin and Fiona, a gentle postal-worker and a tough ex-con trying to get married before the police arrive! However, the final wedding is the quirkiest of all: Sandy’s fifth and (hopefully) final wedding, which reveals an unexpected twist! | Buy Tickets |

Set against the backdrop of a 1960s America in the midst of political and social change, a progressive young priest’s conduct comes under question by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the school principal whose beliefs are deeply rooted in tradition. As the actions and motivations of each are scrutinized and suspicion mounts, the two are drawn into a battle of wills that threatens irrevocable consequences for all involved. | Buy Tickets |
