A musical by Alan Knee directed by Alan Burrows
Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story of the adventures of the four March sisters is brought to vivid musical life in LITTLE WOMEN. The Civil War is in full swing and the March sisters – Meg, the oldest, a romantic; the spirited and tomboyish Jo; sweet and loving Beth and irascible, playful Amy – live in Concord Massachusetts with their Marmee while their father is on the battlefield. Filled with adventure (both lived and imagined), heartbreak and a deep sense of hope, their struggle to find their own voices mirrors the growing pains of a young America.

The classic board game is brought to life in CLUE On Stage. Six guests are invited to a dinner party thrown by an anonymous host. They are given aliases – Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet. Though discouraged from revealing personal information, it is soon discovered that all of them have fallen victim to the same blackmailer, their very host of the evening. Each is presented with a weapon and an option: pay their extortionist double or kill the innocent butler. What follows is a madcap, slapstick evening full of murder, mystery and laughs as they seek to puzzle out the culprit amongst criminals.
A comedy by Michael McKeever, directed by Bob Bramble
It’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel – assistants, luggage and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance … that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.
A Drama Adapted by Christine Mary Dunford; From the book by Lisa Genova; Directed by Alan Burrows.

Fiercely independent, with a husband and two children, Alice strives to make sense of her changing world as her memory begins to fail.

Matthew Shepard, an openly gay college student was tied to a fence post and brutally murdered in a prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming, in 1998 because of his sexual identity. Shepard’s murder is one of the most well-known hate crimes in recent American history.
For “The Laramie Project,” the Tectonic Theater Project travelled to Laramie just four weeks after Shepard’s death, with the intent of creating a theatrical portrait of a town coming to grips with hate-fueled violence. Over the course of a year and a half, the group interviewed over 200 people, collecting a wide array of different perspectives on the crime. The dialogue and monologues that comprise “The Laramie Project” are taken from these interviews, along with news reports, courtroom transcripts, and journal entries.
Hailed as one of the most captivating and encompassing pieces of contemporary theatre, the play shocks, challenges, and moves all who watch it as it reveals the lowest depths of hatred and greatest heights of compassion that lies within all human beings in any seemingly average community.
