So whodunnit?
Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up.

Having a baby is just the beginning…motherhood is for life.
In the original play Motherhood The Musical, four women share their insights, challenges and pleasures at a baby shower.
In 90 minutes of fun, you’ll get a peek into the powerful friendship of Amy, a soon-to-be first-time mom; Brooke, a hard-working lawyer; Barb, a stressed-out mother of five; and Tina, a single mom seeking to balance work, her family and her divorce.
Motherhood The Musical is a funny, yet loving look at being a mom at any age. It’s climbing the emotional mountain only to find that there’s laundry at the top.
Director/Choreographer Jerry Zimmerman and Music Director Dee Fisher have assembled a stellar cast, with two of the roles being shared. Every performance will be a unique show.
Debbie Briggs plays the soon-to-be mom, Amy; and Stacy Rife plays Barb, an overworked, underpaid, stressed-out mother of five. Brooke, a lawyer who works too much and barely sees her kids, is shared by two actresses – Mary Ann Falk and Laura Warnement. Tina, a single mom struggling to balance work, family and a divorce, is played by Kristin Lee and Nancy Williams-Shuffle. In addition to the four main characters, a fifth gal graces the stage. Audiences will have to show up to see who is singing that role each night.

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole.
The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to discover his true identity.
Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage. Then the girls who painted those watches began to fall ill with a mysterious disease.
Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, whose attempts to fight for her day in court are blocked by her idealistic former employer who cannot bring himself to believe the same element which shrinks tumors can possibly be causing the suffering of his employees.
As the case goes on, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but also her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire.

Prepare ye for the timeless tale of friendship, loyalty and love based on the Broadway musical that inspired a generation.
A group of disciples help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing.
An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, are employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus's messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.
Book by John Michael Tebelak
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Based on "The Gospel According to St. Matthew."

A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s,,
A Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp, which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club.
Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it's a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers' classics.
A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair with...golf.
A Comedy by Ken Ludwig
