| | THE PAJAMA GAME
Music & Lyrics by Richard Adler & Jerry Ross
Book by George Abbott & Richard Bissell
Directed by Dillon Bates
Sept. 6 - Sept. 22, 2024
The Pajama Game won the 1955 Tony for Best Musical. Over half a century later, it claimed the award for Best Revival of a Musical, proving that the story is truly timeless. With an energetic score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (Damn Yankees), The Pajama Game is brimming with songs and dances that have become musical theatre standards, including "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway."
Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful as the sparks fly between new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and the leader of the factory’s union grievance committee, Babe Williams. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor but a battle of the sexes as well.

By Ira Levin
Directed by Debbie Noonan
Jan. 31 - Feb. 16, 2025
Ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of stage thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell that has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney immediately recognizes could be a potential Broadway hit.
Sidney's plan, which he devises with his wife's help, is to offer collaboration with the student, an idea that the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness and with such an abundance of thrills and laughter that audiences will be enthralled until the final, startling twists.

By Mary Chase
Directed by Tori George
March 28 - April 13, 2025
Elwood P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an imaginary six-and-a-half- foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarrassment for her family, especially her daughter, Myrtle Mae, Veta decides to have Elwood committed.
At the sanitarium, a frantic Veta explains to the staff that her years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have also caused her to see Harvey, and so the doctors mistakenly commit her instead of her mild-mannered brother. Laughter ensues as the search is on to find Elwood and Harvey and free Veta. In the end, it seems that Elwood’s invisible friend has had a strange influence on everyone, including Veta.
