HCCT opens its 2019-20 season in September with the hilarious musical comedy "Nunsense A-Men!" by Dan Goggin.

"The Carol Burnett Show" follows in February. Sketches from one of the most acclaimed and influential TV series ever. "The Carol Burnett Show" is one of the most popular and beloved shows in television history. You will love this opportunity to see some of her best comedy skits, performed live by the HCCT team.

In April comes the comedy "Birthday Club" by Phil Olson. Five women get together for their birthdays to drink, celebrate, commiserate, and support each other.
