Agatha Christie's
Murder on the Nile
By Agatha Christie
November 2-18, 2018
No one wrote mysteries quite like Agatha Christie, and there are few joys in the world of live theater that can equal the pleasure of seeing one of her whodunits brought to life. In Murder on the Nile, adapted for the stage by Christie herself, the Grand Dame of Mystery whisks you away aboard a luxury steamer as it travels up the Nile River. This is honeymoon cruise, only problem is the bride is dead. Suspicion hangs tense in the air as each member of the group is revealed to have skeletons in the closet. So put on your thinking cap, and see if you can figure out whodunit in Agatha Christie’s masterpiece Murder on the Nile.

Into the Woods
Music by Stephen Sondheim, Book by James Lapine.
October 5-21, 2018
Unanimously lauded by critics and extended twice on Broadway, the Tony Award-winning musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine works its considerable magic through exhilarating rhymes and a gorgeous score. This modern twist on the Brothers Grimm brings together Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), a Baker, his Wife and a dancing cow. The beloved storybook characters take on startling complexity as they discover that wishes come with a price. Witches, wolves, giants and mysterious strangers force the heroes to face the music and their future in a world where things aren't as simple as "happily ever after."

Southern Fried Funeral
A Comedy by Osborne and Eppler
September 14-23, 2018
Dewey Frye is dead and the rest of his family is left to pick up the pieces -- that is if they don't kill each other first. Not only does matriarch Dorothy have to contend with sudden widowhood, but she's also faced with church-committee harpy Ozella Meeks sticking her nose in the family business, Dewey's snake-in-the-grass brother making a grab for her house, and two grown daughters reliving their childhood rivalry. Funerals bring out the worst, the best, and the funniest in people, and the Fryes are no exception. A big-hearted comedy about family – Southern-style.
