Performances: October 4 - 7, 2017
Auditions: July 14 & 15, 2017
Isolated in a sprawling manor in 19th-century England, a governess is hired to watch a precocious young brother and sister. Though the governess bonds with the children at first, she quickly suspects something is wrong when she sees the grotesque figures of the former governess and caretaker of the manor -- both of whom are supposedly deceased. Is she seeing ghosts, or are they merely figments of her imagination? Fearing for her life and sanity, the governess begins an investigation to find out what happened to her predecessors and who else knows of their presence.

The Miracle Worker
A drama by William Gibson
Directed by Brad McDougall
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Performances: November 29 - December 2, 2017
Auditions: September 25 & 26, 2017
This timeless tale tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller. The Miracle Worker dramatizes the volatile relationship between the lonely teacher and her charge. Trapped in a silent world, unable to communicate, Helen is violent, spoiled, and almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence. With scenes of intense physical and emotional dynamism, Annie's success with Helen finally comes with the utterance of a single, glorious word: water.
Drinking Habits
A farce by Tom Smith
Directed by Carri Lelliott
Produced by special arrangement with Playscripts Inc.
Performances: February 14 - 17, 2018
Auditions: November 6 & 7, 2017
Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of the Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancés, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
A drama by Jethro Compton and Dorothy S. Johnson
Directed by Bryce Schlamp
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Performances: April 4 - 7, 2018
Auditions: February 5 & 6, 2018
Journey into the Wild West, 1890, in this enduring story of good versus evil, law versus the gun, one man versus Liberty Valance. This tale of love, hope, and revenge is set against the savage backdrop of a lawless society. When a young scholar from New York City travels west in search of a new life, he arrives beaten and half dead on the dusty streets of Twotrees, the town that becomes his home. A local girl gives him purpose in a broken land, but is it enough to save him from the vicious outlaw who wants him dead? Will he turn and run or stand for what he believes? Will he live or fight, to become the man who shot Liberty Valance?

The Fox on the Fairway
A farce by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Jean Taylor
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Performances: June 13-16, 2018
Auditions: April 2 & 3, 2018
Written in the tradition of the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, The Fox on the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from under the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it's a furiously paced, charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair ... with golf.
