This is the hilarious story of a community theater desperately trying to put on a play despite maddening interference from a haughty authoress who keeps revising the script. Although they only have four days left, this dedicated group of amateurs is committed to the adage “the show must go on,” and valiantly stumbles from the near disastrous dress rehearsal to a performance in which anything that can go wrong, does. This hysterically funny romp ends with a madcap climax.

This charming tale touches the heart – with lots of laughs along the way! It is hard enough for Mr. Popper, a simple painter, to support himself and his family. The addition of twelve penguins makes it impossible to make ends meet – until Mr. Popper has a splendid idea. He will turn the talented penguins into a traveling vaudeville act! And that’s exactly what he does. The entire family will delight in the adventures of Mr. Popper and his “performing” feathered friends.

The Heiress is set in the high society of 1850s New York City. Socially awkward, plain Catherine Sloper is constantly berated and undermined by her domineering physician father, who blames her for causing her mother’s death in childbirth. When a poor, but handsome suitor begins to woo her, Catherine is convinced that she has, at last, found someone who values her for herself, not the money she will inherit. But, has she?

By John Patrick Shanley

Anthony and Rosemary are introverted misfits straddling 40. He’s spent his entire life on a farm in rural Ireland, which suits him well. She lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With his father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. However, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards some kind of happiness in a heartbreaking, funny as hell, and deeply moving journey.

Get your deerstalker cap on — the play’s afoot! Comedic genius Ludwig transforms Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny adventure. When the male heirs of the Baskerville line are being killed off one by one, Holmes and Watson brave the desolate moors to find their ingenious killer. Watch as the intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as a few actors deftly portray more than forty characters.
