All the ladies who are “anybody” in Chinquapin, Louisiana come to  Truvy’s beauty salon to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new  assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still  married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and free  advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire,  Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader,  M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about  to marry a “good ole boy.”

Filled with hilarious repartee and  several acerbic verbal collisions, the comedy moves toward tragedy when,  in the second act, the spunky Shelby risks her life to go through with a  dangerous pregnancy. Confronted with the harshness of mortality, the  others draw together to find strength – and love – in the wake of  tragedy.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly man who despises Christmas. Scrooge started a business with Jacob Marley, who was very similar to Scrooge, but since Marley died Scrooge runs the business alone, treating one of his staff members, Bob Cratchit, very poorly.  

One night Scrooge is visited by the ghost of Jacob Marley, who warns Scrooge that if he does not become kinder he will have an awful fate after death. Marley tells Scrooge that in the coming nights he will be visited by three more ghosts. Initially, Scrooge fails to take the warning seriously but as the ghostly visits become more terrifying, Scrooge begins to realize that he must change his ways.

When Vivien Bliss, author of Harlequin Romance novels, sets out to spend a romantic weekend with respectably married school teacher Edgar Chisholm, she starts a train of events which involves all the classic elements of farce - confused identities, disguise, long-lost relatives, ambushes, chases, doors slamming, coincidence piled on top of coincidence and glorious mayhem. How Vivien gets her new novel finished in the face of, behind the back of, in spite of and with the help of an advice columnist, a nosy reporter, a

doctor in pantyhose, an orphan with a cake and ‘Helga the evil Russian physicist’, is the hilarious, ridiculous story of NURSE JANE GOES TO HAWAII - a sophisticated Canadian comedy set in Toronto, and a superbly constructed, marvelous, incredible farce.

April 6 - 25, 2027

George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple – an opportunistic new professor at the college and his naïve new bride – to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter which engulfs both couples lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha’s inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, finally revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.

Bringing Charles Dickens’ beloved novel to life, Lionel Bart’s Oliver! takes audiences on a wild adventure through Victorian England. Join young, orphaned Oliver Twist as he navigates the London’s underworld of theft and violence, searching for a home, a family, and - most importantly - for love. When Oliver is picked up on the street by a boy named the Artful Dodger, he is welcomed into a gang of child pickpockets led by the conniving, but charismatic, Fagin. When Oliver is falsely accused of a theft he didn’t commit, he is rescued by a kind and wealthy gentleman, to the dismay of Fagin’s violent sidekick, Bill Sikes. Caught in the middle is the warm-hearted Nancy, who is trapped under Bill’s thumb, but desperate to help Oliver, with tragic results. 

With spirited, timeless songs such as "Oom-Pah-Pah", “As Long as He Needs Me,” “Food, Glorious Food,” and “Where Is Love”, Oliver! is a musical classic.
