Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. And hope — as banker Andy Dufresne discovers inside the stone walls of Shawshank State Penitentiary — might just be the one thing that sets him free.

Adapted by Owen O’Neill and Dave Johns from Stephen King’s celebrated novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, this gripping stage production brings one of the most beloved stories of the modern era to our Blackbox stage. When Andy is wrongly convicted of a brutal double murder and sentenced to life behind bars, he must learn to survive in a world where corruption runs deeper than the prison’s foundations.

The intimate Blackbox seating puts you inside those walls. You won’t just watch this story — you’ll live inside it, alongside Andy, Red, and the unforgettable men of Shawshank. This is not the movie. This is harder, closer, more human. And the ending will leave you breathless.

Season opener. Limited 8-performance run.

Performance Dates: September 25 – October 4, 2026

Venue: Blackbox Theatre

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes, including one intermission

Parent Advisory Recommended 16+ — contains strong language, violence including sexual violence, discussion of suicide, and mature prison themes

False teeth. False history. Real laughter.

Mark St. Germain’s delightfully zany comedy takes us to the sleepy town of New Bunion, New England, where the struggling New Bunion Historical Society is about to lose everything. Unpaid bills. Dwindling membership. And now the mayor wants to banish them to the basement of the senior center.

The three indomitable women who run the Society aren’t going down without a fight. And when a set of George Washington’s actual dentures surfaces in the unlikeliest of places, they hatch a plan that’s equal parts brilliant and bonkers.

Think The Golden Girls meets National Treasure, with a dash of small-town scandal and a spectacular amount of heart. It’s silly, smart, and surprisingly moving — exactly the kind of evening that reminds you why live theatre matters.

Bring your friends. This one’s going to become a story you tell for years.

Performance Dates: October 16 – 25, 2026

Venue: Playhouse

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours, including one intermission

Parent Advisory Family-friendly (PG) — suitable for all ages 10+

Get ready to raise the roof of our brand-new Mainstage.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, the police hide her in the last place anyone would think to look: a convent. Stuck in a habit, sworn to silence, and surrounded by nuns who’ve clearly never heard a B-flat in their lives, Deloris turns the convent choir into a soul-shaking, heaven-raising, pew-packing sensation.

Based on the beloved 1992 film, this Tony-nominated musical is pure joy from the opening number to the final curtain. Expect glitter. Expect harmonies that’ll raise goosebumps. Expect nuns absolutely bringing down the house. Our reimagined Mainstage — intimate cocktail-theater seating, premium bar, curated menu — transforms this community classic into an event.

Launch of our newly reimagined Mainstage. Cocktail tables. Premium bar. The full experience.

Performance Dates: November 13 – 29, 2026

Venue: Mainstage

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes, including one intermission

Parent Advisory PG — suitable for ages 10+; contains mild language and comic references to criminal activity

Something’s gone very, very wrong in Neverland.

From the Olivier-nominated geniuses at Mischief Theatre (the same team behind Broadway’s The Play That Goes Wrong), this riotous comedy follows the hapless Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to stage J.M. Barrie’s beloved Peter Pan. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, just about everything.

Flying harnesses that won’t. Trap doors that will. A crocodile with very strong opinions. Cast rivalries that play out mid-flight. And a director who somehow thinks this is still going to end well.

This is the perfect holiday show for families, friends, and anyone who needs to laugh until their face hurts. Special performances added throughout school break; theater is dark on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.

A holiday tradition in the making. 19 performances across four weeks.

Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.

Robert Harling’s beloved masterpiece brings us inside Truvy’s Louisiana beauty shop, where six remarkable women gossip, bicker, celebrate, and grieve their way through the most ordinary — and most extraordinary — moments of their lives. There’s Truvy, whose hair philosophy is a gospel unto itself. Annelle, the nervous newcomer. Clairee, the widow with a razor-sharp wit. Ouiser, the curmudgeon who’s always right. M’Lynn, the mother holding everything together. And Shelby, whose radiant spirit will change them all forever.

Written in just ten days as a tribute to the playwright’s late sister, Steel Magnolias has earned its place as one of the most treasured American plays of the last half century. It will make you howl with laughter one moment and reach for tissues the next.

Bring the women you love. They’ll thank you.

Venue: Playhouse

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes, including one intermission

It was Mrs. Peacock. In the library. With the candlestick. Or was it?

Based on the cult-classic 1985 film (and the board game you’ve been playing since childhood), Clue: On Stage is a madcap murder mystery that’ll have you guessing — and gasping — until the very last second. Six mysterious strangers arrive at the foreboding Boddy Manor, each with a secret to keep and a past to hide.

You know every word. Now come sing it with us.

On a sun-drenched Greek island, Sophie is about to get married — but first, she’s going to find out which of her mother’s three former flames is actually her father. Cue Donna. Cue her best friends, Tanya and Rosie. Cue three men who thought they’d left this chapter behind. And cue twenty-two of the greatest ABBA songs ever written, woven into a story so joyful, so funny, and so deeply moving that by the final encore, every single person in this theatre will be on their feet.

This is the season finale your friends will still be talking about in July. Special St. Patrick’s Day performance Wednesday March 17. Closing night Friday April 2 — we’ll be dark for Easter weekend.
