We hold an opening night reception on the first Friday of each show’s run. Desserts are served prior to the show starting at 6:30pm and you’ll want to stick around afterwards for a champagne toast from Jacob Janssen, our Artistic Director. The actors will also join the patrons in the lobby for a chance to mingle. Each opening is truly worth celebrating, so please join us!

It’s never too late for a grand adventure!
Gustave, Philippe, and Henri—three aging WWI veterans, tired of dull routines, fading memories, and the oppressive atmosphere of their retirement home, hatch an elaborate plan: a great escape! Their ambitious scheme to break free becomes a brilliant, comic battle against time and infirmity. Winner of the 2006 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, this funny and tender tribute to lifelong friendship and the enduring human spirit proves it’s never too late for one last, glorious caper.

A hilarious behind-the-scenes romp!
It is three weeks into shooting Gone With the Wind and everything is falling apart. To save the film, Producer David O. Selznick stops production, locks his director and screenwriter in his office, and forces them to rewrite the entire script in five days! Based on (mostly) true events, this riotous, high-stakes comedy about the chaos and genius of moviemaking will leave you laughing out loud! And cheering!

A whirlwind of romance, murder, and Cold War intrigue!
1952, Boston, a hardboiled female homicide detective finds herself caught in an impossible situation: catch a killer, recover a stolen atomic secret, and keep her fiancé—an FBI agent—from discovering her latest suspect may be his own father. Three couples’ lives collide as love and loyalty are put to the ultimate test. If you love Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett—with a dash of screwball mayhem—you’ll be hooked from the first clue.

A deadly serious comedy about being alive.
Meet Sam—a restless dreamer, anxious doodler, and professional wanderer in search of purpose. When her law firm boss hands her a simple list of names and one chilling task—call them all and announce a client’s death—her mundane workday takes a bizarre turn. Curiosity pulls Sam into a mystery that’s equal parts darkly funny and unexpectedly heartfelt. Armed with only her notebook and razor-sharp wit, she chases clues that lead to something far deeper – and more personal – than she expected.
