2024-25 Season
The Odd Couple
by Neil Simon
Directed by Susan Herrick
When fastidious, neurotic Felix Ungar moves in with the easygoing, slovenly Oscar Madison after their respective marriages fall apart, the clash of their clashing lifestyles sets the stage for a riotous exploration of friendship and the chaos of cohabitation. Packed with sharp wit, memorable characters, and uproarious situations, this timeless play brilliantly captures the complexities of human relationships and the unexpected bonds that can form in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

Miss Holmes
by Christopher M. Walsh
Directed by Kelsie Pederson and Brandon Windus
Miss Holmes reimagines the legendary detective duo with a thrilling twist. Set in Victorian London, the play features a female Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Dorothy Watson as they navigate a society that underestimates their abilities. Amidst the foggy streets and gripping mysteries, the pair confronts not only criminal masterminds but also the challenges of gender expectations. As they unravel complex cases with sharp intellect and unyielding determination, Miss Holmes delivers a fresh, empowering take on the iconic characters, blending intrigue, wit, and a touch of modern sensibility.

Seussical
by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, based on the many children's stories of Dr. Seuss
Directed by Christopher Levi, Janae Erickson, and Aimee Oakley
Seussical is a whimsical musical extravaganza that brings to life the enchanting world of Dr. Seuss. Bursting with colorful characters and vibrant songs, the story weaves together beloved tales from the Seuss universe, featuring favorites like Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and the mischievous Whos. As Horton endeavors to protect the tiny planet of Who from peril, themes of friendship, loyalty, and the power of imagination shine through. With its playful rhymes, dynamic choreography, and heartwarming messages, "Seussical" is a delightful journey for audiences of all ages, celebrating the timeless magic of Dr. Seuss's stories.
Note that the version of this show that we will be doing is the "Seussical TYA", which is a streamlined version designed for audiences of all ages. It leaves out some nonessential parts of the full musical, making it easier for kids to sit through without making it any less entertaining for adults.
