Get Bill Shakespeare Off the Stage!
by Joseph Robinette
After some humorous and, at times, bitter differences of opinion, the students and the new, idealistic high-school drama teacher develop a better understanding of each other. The students arrive at a surprising appreciation of the same Shakespeare they had wanted to get off the stage. This exciting show, with its lively backstage action and unique character developments—in the tradition of A Chorus Line—is a director's dream and an audience's delight.

The Further Adventures of Nick Tickle, Fairy Tale Detective

Everyone's favorite gumshoe is back with another thrilling adventure! Old Granny Possum is entertaining us with her slightly irregular version of "Snow White and Just the Two Very Tall Dwarves" when she's kidnapped by Bluebeard and his band of scurvy pirates! Thank goodness Nick Tickle has been hired to get her back. Can he outwit the kidnappers and save her or is she gone for good?
