Evil Dead: The Musical is a hilarious stage musical that takes all the elements of the cult classic films, Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness then combines them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time! Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a house wares employee, turned demon killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies ... Limbs dismembered ... Demons tell bad jokes ... and all to music.
(Note: This production contains adult language.)

Set in a Catholic boarding school, this poignant coming-of-age story focuses on the love relationship between two boys: Peter, socially awkward and sensitive, and Jason, the golden boy popular jock. Witness the struggles, trials and tribulations they go through to keep their relationship alive yet hidden, and how their love affects all those around them. Bare is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of questioning adults, religion and everything we were ever taught.

We’re off to the Riviera with Broadway’s smash-hit musical comedy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. This is the story of two crafty con artists who try to out-con each other. When it becomes apparent that the Riviera isn’t big enough for the both of them, they make a winner-takes-all wager over the fortunes of a naïve American soap heiress: the first to “clean her out” can make the other clear out and keep the Riviera and its unsuspecting tourists to himself! This hysterical musical comedy will have you laughing out of your seats!
“If you've been looking for a new musical with an old-fashioned golden era mix of a frothy, not-to-be-taken seriously book, a tuneful score with clever (and often delectably lowbrow) lyrics that rhyme delightfully, look no further.” – Curtain Up
