Urinetown, the Musical by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollman
Directed by Todd Nielsen
Take a Tony award-winning musical with a very unpleasant title. Add a story line built around a town with such a serious water shortage that people have to pay to use public toilets. Mix it with a tuneful and irreverent score that gives a nod to musicals from Broadway to Brecht and Weill. Fill it chock full of colorful characters, underdogs, lovers and corporate scoundrels -- and you have Urinetown, the fresh, unique, original, impudent, satirical and ultimately very funny musical.

The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni
Directed by Kappy Kilburn
Translated by Edward J. Dent
Comic fun and complications abound in this classic commedia dell'arte romantic farce. Young love is hindered by mistaken identity in a clash between young and old. Of course, the bumbling servants make matters worse and then masterfully orchestrate the comical resolution. Enter the world of 17th century Italy for a highly engaging evening of physical comedy and high spirits for the whole family.

The Rimers of Eldritch by Lanford Wilson
Directed by Holly Derr

Summertime by Charles L. Mee
Directed by Tamiko Washington
Joy exists each year during Summertime when the twists of being alive and living are played out in a romantic comedy that is not neat nor finished. The play brings the comedy, magic, and poignancy of them all to a contemporary world uniquely its own. Please come join us and share an evening of laughs and a rare glimpse of humanity. Note: The play engages mature themes and is not suitable for children.
