Clue
Based on the Screenplay by Jonathan Lynn
Written by Sandy Rustin
It’s a dark and stormy night, and our cast of oddball characters have been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each guest has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead.
So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

Guys and Dolls
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows

Guys and Dolls takes us from the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana, to the sewers of New York City, as it shows the lengths a guy will go to when he truly falls in love with a “doll.” Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament”, the romantic “I’ve Never Been in Love Before”, the exuberant “If I Were a Bell”, and the classic “Luck Be a Lady”.

Disaster!
Book by Seth Rudetsky, Jack Plotnick and Drew Geraci
Music by the 1970s
Disaster! pays homage to the 70s, an era of bell-bottoms, platform shoes, boogie dancing and…disaster movies. It’s 1979, and New York’s best-dressed are queueing up to board The Barracuda, a new floating casino and discotheque. But one big problem remains. Construction of the new pier has drilled directly into a fault line, and the ship is in real danger. Disco fever soon turns to disaster as earthquakes, man-eating piranhas, tidal waves, and explosions threaten the lives of those aboard. As time ticks by, it becomes a race against time to survive, rediscover love, and not be eaten by a killer rat.
July 18 – August 1, 2027 • 15 performances
Musical comedy • PG 13, parody and campy humor galore
