In a small provincial town, the lovely Belle dreams of the kind of life she finds in her favorite books (even though the egotistical Gaston has a different plan). Belle's father, a "dotty" inventor, gets lost on his way to the fair, and she discovers he is being held captive in an old castle by a horrible beast. She trades her freedom for his and the "tale as old as time" begins. But Belle's adventure has just begun as Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, and Chip befriend Belle and believe that only she can break the spell that holds the Beast (and all of them) captive. See this beautiful Disney classic in our own hometown, while it is still playing on Broadway...and "Be Our Guest" for a wonderful family theatrical experience!

Arthur Miller's powerful tale of deceit, religious paranoia and abuse of power is just as chillingly relevant today as it ever was. Against the setting of the 1692 Salem witch trials, a group of young girls are discovered dancing in the woods and accused of casting spells. To escape punishment, they falsely accuse others of witchcraft, thereby setting off a terrible chain of events. An historical allegory for the McCarthy era, its true power lies in its ability to be re-interpreted to fit any generation. Its fertile themes—the lure of power, the nature of truth—are universal in scope. A searing parable of intolerance, vengeance, and mass hysteria, The Crucible is destined to resonate for centuries to come.
Directed by Andy Regiec. Produced by Eileen Mullee and Laura Baughman. Cast are listed in archives.

Forever Plaid
Forever Plaid is a wonderful heartfelt tribute to those fabulous harmonizing
"guy-groups" like The Lettermen and The Ames Brothers, and will provide a
delightful evening of beloved songs and comedic patter that will keep you
rolling in the aisles when you're not humming along to some of the great
nostalgic pop hits of the '50s and early 60's like the song stylings of
Perry Como's "Catch a Falling Star," Harry Belafonte's "Day-o," and Tennessee
Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons;" or the romantic favorites like "Love is a Many
Splendored Thing" and "Three Coins in the Fountain." Add in the entire Ed
Sullivan Show (in 3 minutes and 11 seconds) with Topo Gigio and Jose
Jimenez, and you will never forget your first Plaid experience!
Screamingly funny! Entirely enchanting, utterly entertaining, awesome!... will put a smile on your face, a hum in your throat and a tap to your feet.—New York Post

The ultimate British farce had them rolling in the aisles in London (for NINE years)! A clever taxi driver finds a way to have TWO wives in opposite ends of London because of his crazy (but convenient!) work schedule. When a bump on the head piles hilarious complication upon complication, the cabbie tries to keep his zany double life from exploding! "Run for Your Wife should run for life."... "I was exhausted from laughing so hard."
Directed by Adam Konowe.
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
