Hamlet

    • adapted and directed by Grant Fitch

Performances: June 5 - 21, 2026

Synopsis:

The classic play of greed, power, paranoia and murder - even in period dress, it's a story with something to say to the modern viewer. Casting will be color-blind and gender-neutral, as much as possible. And the text will be gently translated in spots, making it more accessible for actors and audience.
In 16th-century Denmark, the king is dead, and his brooding 20-something son, Hamlet, should be the new king. Instead, Hamlet’s uncle has stepped into the void, taking both his brother’s crown and his bride, Hamlet’s mother, in one stroke. But when Hamlet learns his uncle is not only an opportunist, but a murderer, no one is safe. With the help of his friends, his girlfriend, and the ghost of his father, Hamlet vows to find the truth and punish the guilty – starting a chain of events that could mean not only his own undoing, but possibly the destruction of everyone around him.

'night, Mother

    • by Marsha Norman
    • Director - Alexander Bonner
Performances: November 6 - 22, 2026
Auditions: TBA

Winner of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Synopsis: The scene is the living room/kitchen of a small house on an isolated country road, which is shared by Jessie and her mother. Jessie’s father is dead; her loveless marriage ended in divorce; her absent son is a petty thief and ne’er-do-well; her last job didn’t work out, and, in general, her life is stale and unprofitable. As the play begins, Jessie asks for her father’s service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself. At first her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie sets about tidying the house and making lists of things to be looked after, her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build. In the end, with the inexorability of genuine tragedy, she can only stand by, stunned and unbelieving, as Jessie quietly closes and locks her bedroom door and ends her profound unhappiness in one fatal, stunning and deeply disturbing moment—a moment never to be forgotten by those who have witnessed, and come to understand, her plight.
