The Minutes
by Tracy Letts
April 25 - May 18, 2025
2024-2025 Season This scathing comedy unravels a web of secrets, power struggles, and dark truths lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. From the author of August: Osage County, Tracy Letts infuses this story with his signature wit delivering moments of uproarious humor as a cast of very recognizable city council members let their idiosyncrasies fly. Unable to locate the minutes from the previous meeting, or move beyond their pet projects, the city council devolves into ridiculously reenacting their town history for their newest member who is full of questions and doubts about his new role. With razor-sharp wit, unflinching honesty, and a healthy dose of comedy, ‘The Minutes’ is a gripping exploration of the complexities of power and the fragility of democracy. Don’t miss your chance to witness this explosive drama and side-splitting comedy that has captivated audiences and critics alike.

Ship
by Douglas Williams

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.

Jamie and Tommy, two brothers who share a cottage on the Cliffs of the Irish Sea. One morning Jamie makes an astonishing declaration. He announces that he is dead – and now a ghost. Tommy, naturally, is unconvinced and maintains that his brother’s delusion is caused by the grief Jamie has suffered since their mother’s death. With pathos and gentle humor, the brothers explore a trail of unexpressed love, grief, guilt, and forgiveness, and within everyday events and their nostalgic memories, which are as ordinary as all our memories, they discover the eternal exists in their fraternal bond.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
by Christopher Durang
March 20th through April 12th, 2026
Step into the hilariously dysfunctional world of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Christopher Durang’s Tony Award-winning comedy that’s equal parts cheeky, chaotic, and deeply heartfelt! In a quiet Pennsylvania farmhouse, Vanya and his adopted sister Sonia lead a dull, humdrum existence—until their glamorous, larger-than-life movie star sister Masha storms in with her boy toy Spike in tow. Add a soothsaying housekeeper and a neighborhood ingénue to the mix, and what follows is a wild ride of sibling rivalries, fading dreams, and over-the-top antics. Will Masha sell the family home? Will Spike keep his shirt on? Will Sonia ever find true happiness—or at least a date? Come for the biting wit, stay for the absurd Chekhovian twists, and leave with a grin on your face. Drama, comedy, and a touch of existential dread. This play has it all.
