FIREFLIES | Oct. 29-Nov. 15, 2026
By Matthew Barber, from the novel Eleanor and Abel by Annette Sanford
Directed by Paul Mason Barnes
A warm-hearted romantic comedy proving it's never too late for second chances, unexpected love, and new beginnings.
SLOW FOOD | Feb. 18-Mar. 7, 2027

An anniversary dinner becomes a hilariously unpredictable exploration of marriage, intimacy, and the things we hunger for most.
GASLIGHT | Apr. 22-May 9, 2027

A new adaptation of the classic psychological thriller where manipulation and deception blur the line between truth and madness.
Together, these four productions showcase the breadth of the theatrical experience, from inspiring personal storytelling and heartfelt romance to laugh-out-loud comedy and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
