It’s the fabulous fifties — 1950s, that is — and the little town of Shingleville is rife with suspicion and speculation. Sprout’s Malt Shop is filled with quirky characters, and one them is guilty of murder! After all, they all have a motive when the reprehensible and unreasonable Jerry Atrick falls over dead after an unexpected blackout.
It’s up to Sheriff Colin Allcars to find out who is responsible for the foul play. Was it the trouble-making greaser, Noah Count? Or the bubbly and annoying know-it-all cheerleader, Bobbie Pinz? Surely not her sidekick, Shirley Knott! Could it have been the waitress, Dee Lighted, who takes your order but brings you whatever she feels like? How about the sultry starlet or the dim-witted jock? Order up!
This zany mystery delivers exactly what you’re craving: a juicy whodunit served with loads of puns and topped with a heap of nostalgic 1950s references!

Here’s a rousing patriotic salute to all those who have ever served in the military, including the brave G.I. Joes and Jills of World War II. The setting is a U.S.O. club in Brooklyn in 1942, where soldiers and sailors can take a turn on the dance floor with club hostesses, thanks to the new jukebox. But the war isn’t far away. Ships leaving the nearby Navy yard are being sunk by enemy U-boats. Could there be spies hiding out at the club? It’s up to Private Joe Kilroy (whose habit of leaving a funny cartoon wherever he goes is drawing a lot of attention) to protect the location of the next Allied convoy. The suspense keeps building until a wild radio broadcast brings down the house.
Little Women: Then and Now

When four modern-day girls are assigned to read Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, they expect just another school reading. But as they turn the pages, scenes from the classic novel come alive. The girls begin to see themselves in the March sisters and draw connections between the events in the book and their own trials and triumphs.
Through a seamless intertwining of classic literature and contemporary experience, this play explores how timeless stories can illuminate our own. To the student readers, Little Women becomes more than a book. It becomes a lens through which they come to understand their own relationships with friends and family.
