Church Basement Ladies: A Second Helping by Greta Grosch
A celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young bride-to-be learning the proper order of things, we see the church ladies handle numerous demands made of them in the course of serving their beloved church. They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the Pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other as the true "steel magnolias" of the church.

Married Alive! by Sean Grennan & Leah Okimoto
MARRIED ALIVE! is a funny and touching new musical that looks in on two married couples, one newlywed and one oldywed. The production focuses on the trials, joys, triumphs and defeats that are found in contemporary marriage. It's fast paced and at times sharp, but always affectionate. From babies to empty nests, job stress to domestic bliss, four actors and one piano comprise the evening's entertainment. Recommended for adult theatre-goers.

The Wonder Bread Years by Pat Hazell
A hilarious 90 minutes of genuinely funny observations of our collective youth: Toughskin jeans, Jiffy Pop popcorn, Kool-aid stands and more! This one-man 'Show & Tell' promises to "feed the belly as well as the spirit." It’s an infectiously charming, fast-paced, hilarious production that takes you back to a simpler time in life - when candy was currency and the most dangerous kid in school carried a "switch-comb." THE WONDER BREAD YEARS offers you a chance to return to your childhood; it's an evening of pure escapism, where you have permission to think and act like a kid. Green army men rule, Etch-A Sketch is king and things that don't go your way are a "gyp." This classic material makes you crave the taste of space food sticks and revisit the faint scar from a lawn dart injury.
