2024-25 Season of Shows

This season will include 4 plays, including:

Canadian star Paul Gross leads an incredible cast in this gripping dark comedy by Tony- nominated playwright, Conor McPherson. The Seafarer celebrates the bonds of camaraderie, the possibility of redemption, and the enduring hope found in second chances.

It’s Christmas Eve and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, ageing brother who’s recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher. In fact, Sharky may be playing for his very soul.

E.B. White’s heartwarming classic about the unlikely friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a spider called Charlotte. This cherished story illustrates the enduring power of friendship and promises to capture the hearts of audiences again and again.

This delightful adaptation follows Wilbur from his beginnings as a scrawny piglet who’s spared from becoming pork chops by a young girl named Fern. But as he grows and begins to cost his owners a fortune in feed, it will take help from all his new farmyard friends to save his life again, including the miraculous talents of a very special grey spider.

“King” LeBron James’s reign in Cleveland brings promise, prosperity and renewal to a city in desperate need of all three. It also brings together two unlikely friends in a bond forged by fandom. Told over twelve years (from LeBron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship) King James is an intimate exploration of the place that sports occupy in our lives and relationships

Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph’s clever and fast-paced comedy traces the arcs of two friends whose turbulent relationship is best navigated through their shared love of basketball. Both wonderfully funny and remarkably moving, King James dives into the heart of basketball fandom and highlights the profound connections that sports can cultivate.

Featuring five actors playing nine characters, Liars at a Funeral is an uproarious comedy and a laugh-out-loud romp through the absurdities of family dynamics and the lengths we go to for love and connection.

Grandma Mavis stages her own funeral in order to reunite her estranged family… just in time for an ice storm to trap them all in a funeral home. But, little does she know, she’s not the only family member bending the truth. Can this eccentric clan of liars navigate the rocky road to reconciliation? Or will the next 24 hours be the final nail in this dysfunctional family’s coffin?
