It’s Ancient Greece, and for Artemis, Athena, and Aphrodite, enough is enough. As female gods,how can they enjoy immortal life when they rule over a society that doesn’t have equal rights forwomen? What they need is a hero – a female one – to inspire women across the world. They each choose a champion – one for their brain, one for their physical prowess, and one for their kindness of heart. They send them each on an epic quest to prove their worth as a hero so theycan anoint the winner as their champion. When the male gods catch wind of the women’s plans,however, they use their powers to make the quest much more treacherous than the female gods intended. The women find the only way to overcome the male gods’ mayhem is to band together and prove that sometimes you can all be heroes. Featuring an eclectic score of well-loved hits,ranging from Pat Benatar, Miley Cyrus, The Chicks, Kelly Clarkson, Blondie, and many more,The Olympians is a riotous show about the power of changing the narrative!

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north that it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.
The Crucible
by Arthur Miller: Performance June 5-14, 2026, Auditions April 20-21. 2026
Widely considered a masterpiece, this timeless classic challenges American ideas of power, intolerance, and justice. In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer’s wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many, uncovering a web of bigotry and deceit that changes their lives forever. Among the most produced plays since its 1953 debut, The Crucible is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable of
contemporary society.
