The Odd Couple
by Neil Simon
This classic comedy opens on a friendly card game in the untidy apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Felix Ungar, who has just been separated from his wife, arrives late. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together. The action unfolds with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

Go, Dog. Go!
By Allison Gregory and Steven Dietz
Adapted from the book “Go, Dog. Go!” by P.D. Eastman
P.D. Eastman’s classic children’s book comes to life on stage in an exploration of movement, color, and space. The dogs delve into life with gusto, creating a visual spectacle for the audience to feast upon. They snorkel. They howl at the moon. They ride a ferris wheel. They sing, dance, and climb trees. This is a rollicking free-for-all of chicanine-ery. A big and little musical world of doggy fun. Like a pop-up book that comes to life, and never stops.

Ole & Lena's Wedding Dinner Theatre!
Back By Popular Demand!
Ole Olafsson Jr., a Norwegian, and Lena Handspringinnen, a Finn, are getting married at their local Lutheran Church. Of course, their nuptials go down about as nicely as a mouthful of Lutefisk. Lena’s mother, Gladys, fusses over all the food she’s prepared “without any help from anyone” for the reception. An accordion player comes down from Eveleth because all the Catholics are getting married, and the organists were all booked up. Finally, after 45 minutes of service, the guests retire to the banquet hall for food and a chance to do the Hokey Pokey, the Chicken Dance, and the Polka.

Come From Away
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff & David Hein
What began as an average day in the town of Gander, Newfoundland, turned into an international sleepover when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander welcomed the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
