    A seemingly perfect life unravels as Nora, a charming wife and mother, grapples with a shocking secret. Hidden debts and societal expectations force her to confront a harsh truth: she's been living in a carefully crafted dollhouse, yearning for freedom.

    by Charles Dickens, a new adaptation by Patrick Barlow

    DECEMBER 5-22

    Returning from our successful run in 2023, this thrilling adaptation uses only five actors to bring some of Dickens' most beloved characters to life.  From Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mr. Fezziwig, Barlow's play uses nothing more than some simple props, fresh physicality, and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption.  Witness Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long, in this highly theatrical adaptation.

Co-Founders Elizabeth Newcomer and Michael A. Newcomer share details on the 2024 season programming.

Flipping the traditional theatre model on its head, we invest in those we deem most valuable: our artists.

We believe in the creativity and sovereignty of our storytellers, from box office manager to lighting designer to actors on stage.  Each is pivotal in creating the experience you deserve the moment you walk in the theatre.

Let us entertain you and (for 2 sweet hours!) coax you away from the seductive pull of Netflix, so you can remember what it’s like to be alive.
