Ship

August 8, 2025 - August 31, 2025

Forced to return to her home town of Mystic, Connecticut after a stint in rehab, Nell is determined to get her life back on track. Her plan includes being promoted to the most high profile job in town: a tour guide aboard a historic whaling ship, and tracking down her former classmate who tried and failed to grow the longest fingernails in the world. With the help and hindrance of her older sister, Nell grabs at her chance for hometown glory—but repairing her relationship with her mother and breaking free of her worst instincts lands her in increasingly ridiculous circumstances. Ship is a witty and hilarious exploration of a person’s potential and the awkward experiences we have trying to get our sea legs as functional adults.

Contains adult language and themes.

Ranked, A Musical

July 18, 2025 - July 27, 2025

Buy your grades, buy your future - but what happens when the whole world finds out? Debuting just weeks after the College Admissions Scandal took the nation by storm, Ranked tells the story of a dystopian world where competition reaches new heights as publicized academic excellence defines each student’s worth. In the face of an intense and perverse culture of performance, Lily must come to grips with her place in the status quo as she watches friends and enemies alike destroy themselves and each other to score their way to the top of academic leaderboards. When an impossible lie is discovered, the fate of these students’ futures hangs in the balance. Ranked, A Musical by Kyle Holmes with Music & Lyrics by David Taylor Gomes runs July 18th - 27th on the Mainstage. Showings Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 3:00 pm.
