THE HUMAN COMEDY

Written and Directed by Thom Babbes

Produced by Crystal Jackson

Playing September 30 - November 5 , Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm (NEW TIME!) and Sundays at 2:30 pm in the David Schall Theatre

Set in war front America in 1942, this coming-of-age tale tells the story of Homer Macaulay, a 14-year-old boy who delivers telegrams at night to make money for his family. During the course of two days, Homer grows from an idealistic boy to a mature young man as he struggles with the unfairness of the world around him and the pain of families to whom he delivers the War Department’s death notices. 

But in the midst of the decaying idealism of small-town America, and the loneliness of growing up, Homer finds hope in humanity through Mr. Grogan, the old alcoholic telegrapher, and Mr. Spangler, the manager of the telegraph office who becomes a father figure. In these men, Homer learns to see the goodness in people no matter how desperate or broken they may be. He also finds the true meaning of home.

The World Premiere of

LEWIS AND TOLKIEN

Written and Directed by Dean Batali

Produced by Marc Whitmore, Lori Berg, and Rob Loos

Playing October 27 - December 3 , Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm (NEW TIME!) and Sundays at 2:30 pm in the Crossley Theatre with additional matinees November 4, November 25, and December 2 at 2:30 pm. There will be no performance on Friday, November 24th.

Set in Oxford, England in the autumn of 1963 at the famous “Rabbit Room” of the Eagle and Child Pub, this play is something of a return to the familiar for C.S. Lewis (author of The Chronicles of Narnia) and J.R.R. Tolkien (who wrote The Lord of the Rings). Filled with humor, rousing debate, and reconciliation, the two men learn the true value of their friendship with a little help from a few pints of beer and the energetically curious barmaid, Veronica.

TWELFTH NIGHT

Written by William Shakespeare

Directed by Michael T. Kachingwe

Produced by Lorinda Hawkins Smith

Playing April 5th - May 12th, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2:30 pm in the David Schall Theatre.

Stranded on the coast of Illyria, the quick-witted Viola assumes the disguise of a page boy for Duke Orsino and finds herself at the center of an explosive love triangle in which identity, passion and gender all threaten to come undone. Bursting with vitality and romance, Twelfth Night gives us one of Shakespeare’s most remarkable heroines matching wits with a host of captivating characters—from the love-struck Olivia to the puritanical Malvolio.
