They’re Playing Our Song
They’re Playing Our Song
Book by Neil Simon
Music by Marvin Hamlisch
Lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager
Directed & Choreographed by Andi Allen
Music Direction by M. Shane Hurst
Based on the real-life relationship between Hamlisch and Sager, opposites attract when a wisecracking composer teams up with a new, offbeat lyricist to write songs. It takes a while for the two to make beautiful music together, both on the music page and in love.

The 39 Steps
The 39 Steps
By Patrick Barlow
Directed by Ashley Puckett Gonzales
This wild parody play is adapted from the 1915 novel & 1935 film, both of the same name. The play recreates the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock onstage, performed by only 4 actors. An innocent man is accused of murder and goes on the run through England, soon finding himself enmeshed in pre-WWI espionage and various romantic entanglements.

Disaster
By Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick
Directed by Neale Whitmore
Music Direction by Joey O’Reilly | Choreography by Amy Cave
A group of New Yorkers attend the opening of a floating casino-discothèque that quickly succumbs to multiple calamities, hilariously reprising 1970s disaster films from sinking ships to earthquakes to piranhas. Following the 70s theme, the musical numbers feature hit songs from the decade. Hum along to familiar tunes as these hapless characters careen from one catastrophe to another. Will everyone make it out alive?

Noises Off
Directed by Neale Whitmore
This play-within-a-play captures a touring theatre troupe’s production of Nothing On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and -- of course -- flying sardines!
She Loves Me
Directed by Andi Allen | Music Direction by Kelley Poché Rodriguez
Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written, She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. Set in a 1930s European perfumery, we meet shop clerks, Amalia and Georg, who, more often than not, don't see eye to eye. After both respond to a "lonely hearts advertisement" in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters that they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves... and all the twists and turns along the way!
Six Degrees of Separation
Directed by Ashley Puckett Gonzales
A young black man named Paul shows up at the home of art dealer Flan Kittredge and his wife Louisa, known simply as "Ouisa", who live overlooking Central Park in New York City. Paul has a minor stab wound from an attempted mugging, and says he's a friend of their children at Harvard University. The Kittredges are trying to get the money to buy a painting by Paul Cézanne and now have this wounded stranger in their home. Paul claims he is in New York to meet his father, Sidney Poitier, who is directing a film version of the Broadway musical Cats. Paul charms the Kittredges, but are things really what they appear to be? Paul’s story begins to unfold in degrees, as we see how his connections extend beyond the Kittredge family and the consequences of those connections. *Contains Adult Language and Situations
