The Electric Baby
Sept. 26-28 and Oct. 3-5, 2019
- By Stefanie Zadravec
- Directed by Wes Eccleston
When a young man is killed in a car accident, a group of fractured souls encounter a magical dying baby and begin to rewrite the stories of their lives. Folk tales and folklore weave throughout this darkly comic story of sad endings, strange beginnings and the unlikely people that get you from one place to the next.
Retreat
Nov. 21-23 and 28-30, 2019
- By Kat Sandler
- Directed by Robin Nichol
A job at Fischer, Cos, Sutton, and Tate is worth killing for… but is it worth dying for? Four interns find themselves abandoned at a camp run by a disgraced scoutmaster. They’re each given a token and instructed to get their hands on all four tokens at any cost. What begins as a darkly funny exercise in deception and manipulation, quickly turns deadly as the camp descends into chaos.
A Midsummer's Night Dream
Feb. 27-29 and Mar. 5-7, 2019
- By William Shakespeare
Four sparring lovers take refuge in the woods, only to find themselves in the midst of a dispute between the king and queen of the fairies. With the roguish Puck causing havoc, what could possibly go wrong? Shakespeare’s evergreen comedy is a tale of order and chaos, love and fantasy. It glitters with dramatic poetry and is full of mischief, misunderstanding and merriment.
