Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She’s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity—the Greek god Dionysus—and she’s returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban New Jersey cul-de-sac? In this Obie-winning comedy with a twist, Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious evisceration of the blind eye we all turn to climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards.

Opening July 2024 at The Nevada Theatre

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder in this soaring musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling. Written by George Stiles with music and lyrics by Anthony Drewe, this heartwarming fable follows the story of Ugly, a very different kind of duckling. Ugly’s journey of self-discovery is told with love and laughter through the colorful characters he meets along the way. This family-friendly musical will bring joy to the hearts of anyone who ever felt left out or misunderstood—only to find that being different isn’t so bad after all!

An authoritarian regime comes to power. The nation’s leading orchestra conductor resists tyrannical mandates as he struggles to keep performing and maintain artistic integrity. His musicians either flee or risk persecution and arrest, and his own life is in danger. A story based on actual events in Nazi Germany.

Resistance tells the story of a musician who believed that art transcends politics.

Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege, and entitlement. The hilarious results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a rose.
