The Theatre Group at SBCC continues its 80th season with the hilarious comedy, A SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS by Alan Ayckbourn, March 4-21, 2026 in the Garvin Theatre on SBCC’s West Campus.
England’s master of farce and social satire is in top form in this comic morality play. Jack McCracken has the opportunity of a lifetime: he is the new head of a family furniture business and believes he will initiate a new age of honesty and integrity. Unfortunately, his family has other ideas. As affairs, embezzlements, extortion, corporate shenanigans and a bunch of Italian brothers each more handsome than the next, continues to be revealed, Jack’s hold on his morality may be pushed past the breaking point. But at the end of the day, family values will win out. A play that will make you appreciate your own family more than you ever have.

Directed by Katie Laris, A Small Family Business will feature Adrian Arias, Anikka Abbott, Paul Canter, Tyler Gilbert, Felicia Hall, Kyra Maal-King, Lynn Robinson, Justin Stark, Jenna Scanlon, Nicholis Sheley, Raymond Wallenthin, Isabel Watson and Nick Woolf.

Sunday @ 2pm, Previews on March 4 & 5 @ 7:30pm.
