This beloved Broadway hit bursts with humor, romance, high-energy

When a desperate plea brings Poirot and his ever-loyal companion Captain Hastings to this quiet French village, they arrive just a stroke too late.

As the investigation begins, the duo must navigate a rough course of rival detectives, secret affairs, and shifting identities. In a case where no one plays it straight, Poirot’s “little grey cells” are in for his greatest challenge yet.

A MADCAP BRITISH FARCE!

Written by Ray Cooney

In this madcap, modern British farce, John Smith is a cab driver with two wives and two homes and a very precisely planned schedule for juggling them.

Trouble brews when John is injured and briefly hospitalized, and both wives report him missing to two different police departments. With the help of his lazy upstairs neighbor Stanley, John tries to keep his double life from exploding by hastily improvising a tangled web of lies to explain himself to his two wives and two suspicious detectives.

Inspired by A Christmas Story by Charles Dickens

Director - Gordon Casagrande

It wouldn’t be Christmas without A Christmas Carol . We take Dickens’ classic story of greed, grief, ghoulish ghosts and eleventh-hour redemption and make it feel brand new again.

In this raucous version, the entire show is performed by five actors, most of whom play multiple roles. It’s a unique production filled with music, puppetry, pantomime, and farce. Every time the actors switch characters, we’re reminded that we’re watching the magic of live theatrical storytelling unfolding in front of our eyes.

DIRECTOR – Stephen Emerick
MUSIC DIRECTOR – Matt Stolfi

CHOREOGRAPHER - Lauren Nicole Sherwood

A sidesplitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself!

DIRECTOR – John Atkin

In a community entrenched in honor and iron wills, secrets have a way of exploding. It’s an uneasy venue for a patchwork family. For a wobbly marriage. For a world-weary longshoreman who feels his strength slipping, inch by treacherous inch. A man’s man who discovers, too late, that the most dangerous enemy is the one that comes from within – or from the girl who once played at his feet. This is a true thriller with life and death stakes, disguised as an American Classic. Experience Arthur Miller’s masterpiece from the edge of your seat.
