NOW RUNNING

The National Anthem is a new one-man musical comedy about the fascinating American who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner."  Francis Scott Key's unwavering and sometimes unorthodox opinions on social matters as well as his unique and often unappreciated relationship with poetry is showcased in this 90-minute mix of lyrics and laughs.  You’ll snicker in your knickers and cackle in your cloak as you discover more about the man whose name we all know... but whose history is a mystery.

COMING SUMMER OF 2025

The Amish lifestyle may appear simple, but for Rachel Miller, it’s anything but. While working at her bakery job, she’s captivated by the Telemundo soap operas that make acting seem effortless. Eager to explore a different way of life, she leaves the farm behind and heads to New York City for acting classes. There, she encounters an aging, out-of-work actress and a charming fellow student, discovering that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Prepare to laugh and maybe even shed a tear as you follow these unforgettable characters on their journey to becoming their best selves.

PAST SHOWS

Jolly Ol St Nick (Facebook Cover)_edited.png

An unexpected knock. An unplanned guest. One unforgettable night! Simon and Eliza Yoder never imagined the special guest that showed up at their front door on Christmas Eve. They didn't even know the man in the red suit knew where they lived. It’s a collision of traditions, a clash of cultures, and a stranger in search of far more than just an address, in this new Yuletide comedy for all ages!

When two one-of-a-kind flamingo salt and pepper shakers created by a famous artist are stolen, it would only make sense that Noah Zark, a local business owner would be the one to snatch them- to pay off all his debt. But is he wrongly accused?
