September 2018: Silent Sky, by Lauren Gunderson. This historical drama centers on the life of Henrietta Leavitt, who in the early 1900s made a profoundly important astronomical discovery even though, as a woman, she was not allowed to touch a telescope nor expected to offer a creative idea.
November 2018: Neil Simon’s Rumors. This over-the-top farce is a non-stop romp of confusion, miscommunication and hilarity as an anniversary party goes awry when the host shoots himself, his wife goes missing, and the help is nowhere to be found.
January 2019: Murder at the Lone Elm, by Miles Ledoux. An interactive murder mystery. This play tracks the characters and deaths at the Lone Elm Inn and asks the audience to get involved in solving who the murderer is.
