The Patchwork Girl of Oz is a musical adventure story set in the marvelous land of Oz. While trying to create a servant for himself, Dr. Pipt sprinkles his “Powder of Life” on a patchwork quilt doll and voila!

Scraps – a bubbly and brassy young girl with no intention of being his slave – comes to life.

Scraps and her Munchkin friend, Ojo the Unlucky, set off to collect the ingredients needed to revive Ojo’s uncle who has been accidentally turned into a statue. It’s a journey of understanding – of self, of the wonders of Oz, and of the world around us.

Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten! Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star aka Shakespeare. When the local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, Nick sets out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of the opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

Performances: May 26 – June 24, 2023, Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm *Note: June 24th is a Saturday matinee performance

How far would a man go to protect his family, his interests, and his legacy? Joe Keller, the patriarch in All My Sons, desperately wants to secure and maintain the financial security and legacy he spent so many years building, ready to hand it down to his surviving son Chris. At the same time, Joe’s wife Kate is still waiting for their eldest son Larry to return from war, determined that he is alive and will marry the former girl-next-door, Ann –the daughter of Joe’s former business partner who is sitting in prison, punished for Joe’s crimes. To complicate this family drama, Chris and Ann are in love and want to get married. In All My Sons, Arthur Miller creates a post-war American family in a tragic downfall of lies, greed, love, and loss, and demands its audience examine their own social responsibilities to all the sons of American wars.
