Puss in Boots
June 10
July 8 & 29
August 12
(OUR SATURDAY KIDS THEATER SERIES) Ever wonder how a simple forest dwelling cat became knighted by a king and beloved by children the world over? Well, we've got the answer in this play filled with charm and energetic humor. The actors and the audience become partners in this "origin" story.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Jun 16 thru Jun 25
Ensemble Stage Audience favorites, Scott Douglas Wilson and Laura Hodos star in this two actor tour-de-force comedic retelling of the horror classic. Oh sure, it’s still a battle of good vs. evil. But this time around, it is done with an invigorating wit and style that will have you laughing from the opening minutes to the very end.
City of a Dreadful Night
July 21-30
Steeped in the atmosphere of black and white film noir movies from the 40’s, this play is not a parody of those movies but rather a deep immersion in the feel of them. We don’t want to give too much away regarding this twisting, turning piece of theatre. However, we will say the show is layered in suspense and mystery, and is rich in nostalgic atmosphere.
**CONTAINS SOME ADULT SUBJECT MATTER**
A Texas Romance
August 18-27
It’s been a year since young Daisy Wilson was made a widow when her cheating husband was shot by his mistress. Daisy has decided it’s time to move on with her life. However, now that she lives with her somewhat controlling older sister, moving on isn’t going to be easy. This sweet comedy will leave you with a warm heart and a satisfied smile on your face.
To Die For
Sept 15-24
Best-selling historical romance writer Carla Woods lives in a Gothic mansion and enjoys playing dangerous mind games with her secretaries. One dark and stormy night, a mysterious man shows up at her door. Could this simply be payback from a disgruntled employee, or could it be…love’s destiny? A twisting, turning comedy-thriller.
