By Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore
The traditional wedding vow of "Till Death do us Part" is blasted asunder in this hilarious comedy by the writing team of Van Zandt and Milmore, who have been called "the master of farce" by the New York Times.
From the opening scene with four idyllic couples starting blissful married life, audiences will fast forward to a wild and wacky trip at a Vermont country inn, when the "bloom has come off the rose" for all of the now-battling spouses.
This knockabout farce about the flip-side of marriage reveals what happens after the "happily ever after" glow wears off. The show is filled with witty dialogue and side-splitting sight gags guaranteed to keep audiences rolling in the aisles.

By Ken Ludwig.
From the novel by Alexandre Dumas.
Playwright Ken Ludwig gives his delightful take on the Dumas classic in an energetic, festive, humorous evening, overbrimming with swathers of swash, buckets of buckle, melodic music, and dazzling dueling.
This action-packed romantic adventure tells the story of the young country lad D’Artagnan who seeks fame and fortune as a gallant Musketeer. He soon finds himself on a mission to defend the honor of the Queen of France and caught in the intrigue of the shadowy world of the dastardly Cardinal Richelieu and the deadly Milady.
A timeless tale of drama, comedy, villainy, and heroism, the show is, as the Musketeers themselves might say, truly “all for one and one for all.”

Based on the beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden will enchant audiences with its cherished story told anew in a dazzling musical all about the power of love and the miracle of rebirth.

This Tony Award-winning musical is a treasure for both children and adults, where all can get swept up in the Yorkshire mists where lost loves are found, abandoned lives are saved, and glorious spring comes again!

Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
A Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, Rent integrates dance, pop, rock and roll, R & B, and salsa to tell the emotional saga of a community of impoverished young artists.
Set in New York’s East Village in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, the plot follows the play’s colorful characters as they love, fight, and celebrate life, while struggling to survive and create their own one moment of glory.
A rock opera for a new generation, like Hair was in the 1960s, Rent reverberates with joyful energy and an affirmation that the “season of love” is all there is, with “no day but today.”

By Thornton Wilder
Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning American classic is quite simply and literally daily life, love, and marriage, and then death and loss, broken down into three charming acts. This lyrical play is a love letter to the everyday details of commonplace life.
The luminous microcosm of Grover’s Corners stands for simple truths and eternal connections. In milk bottles and baseballs, choir practice and algebra homework, Wilder depicts the transcendent world as an achingly beautiful place where mere mortals cannot appreciate the all-too-brief shining moments in time.
Our Town never fails to weave its understated magic and draw audiences into all the myriad joys and tragedies of everyday live, and “the way we were in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying.”
 July 15 - August 1, 2010
Book by Mel Brooks & Thomas Meehan, Music & Lyrics by Mel Brooks
The Producers, Mel Brooks’ comic tour de force, won a record twelve Tony Awards in 2001. This rollicking production is filled with old-fashioned Broadway glitz, show-stopping songs, wickedly inventive dances, and enough audacious humor to keep audiences laughing all the way home.
Max Bailystock, a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, lassoes his milquetoast accountant Leo Bloom into a scheme to produce the biggest flop possible, on the premise that they can make more money from overselling a bomb than parlaying a hit. The preposterous “Springtime of Hitler” seems to be just the “sure to flop” script they are looking for to make all their theatrical dreams come true.
Marvelously scandalous, outrageously campy, and downright zany, The Producers is one of the funniest, splashiest, flashiest musicals ever to hit the stage.
