For the 2016-2017 no 'shrinking violet' opening of the Cabot Theatre Stage, Skylight Music Theatre presents the 1997 award-winning musical, Violet. Set in the mid 1960's, the Broadway Theatre Center production relates to a young woman's journey when her father accidentally disfigured her face and left a traumatic facial scar amid the burgeoning civil rights movement and beginnings of the Vietnam war.

Though it is only November, before Thanksgiving no less, Christmas is in full swing at The Fireside Dinner Theatre.
When audiences received holiday dishes before the curtain rose, they were provided with both warm hospitality by the staff as well as well named dishes. The Snowflake Salad, for instance, lightly dusted with feta cheese crumbles was as delicious as it was delightful. Diners who were awaiting the theatre doors to open already knew that they were in store for a whimsical evening.
