No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre Oct. 2 – 5
Directed by Dan Toot
Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit. This genre-defining work of Existentialism forces us to consider a chilling thought: Hell is other people.
Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson - Apt. 2b
by Kate Hamill
Nov. 13 – 16
Directed by Abbey Toot
An irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick. This fast-paced romp re-examines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens. In this highly theatrical, small-cast escapade, oddball female roommates Sherlock Holmes & Joan Watson join forces to emerge from pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple adventure duo—solving mysteries and kicking butts, until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers.

A One-man Ghost Story

Dec. 5 & 6
A one-man adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic cautionary holiday story.

A quantum physicist and a beekeeper meet at a barbeque. They hit it off, or perhaps they don’t. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. In the multiverse, with every possible future ahead of them, a love of honey could make all the difference. This story tugs at both your heart strings, and the fabric of spacetime.
A new musical by Kait Kerrigan and Bree Lowdermilk
Directed by Dan Toot
Samantha Brown balances on the edge of her future, car keys in hand. As she sits in the driver's seat, she faces a choice: will she follow in her mother's footsteps, or take the dare of her impetuous best friend and chart a new path? A tight, intimate, ensemble-driven folk-rock musical about grief, loss, coming-of-age, and finding oneself, this musical will break your heart open and fill it up to the brim!
