A story that celebrates sisterhood and embraces adventure. 

In this modern fairytale, three sisters, left abandoned, take charge of their own destinies. The eldest, Albienne, heads West to show the world what she’s made of. Beatrix, the middle sister, heads East in search of adventure. Then there’s Carmen, the youngest, who finds comfort in staying put. As the years roll by, each new experience comes with a new lesson, a new perspective, and maybe even a little bit of magic. A heartwarming tale about sisterhood, courage, and the beauty of embracing life's twists and turns with an open heart.

From the mind of multi-award winning writer and actress Mindy Kaling, Matt & Ben depicts its Hollywood golden boys – before J-Lo, before Gwyneth, before Project Greenlight, before Oscar… before anyone actually gave a good gosh darn. When the screenplay for Good Will Hunting drops mysteriously from the heavens, the boys realize they’re being tested by a Higher Power. Originally performed by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers in the title roles, Matt & Ben is a hilarious satire on the real and imagined difficulties of pursuing a dream.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” 

Celebrate Jane Austen's 250th Birthday with a new adaptation of her most popular novel. Considered one of the most celebrated novels in the English language, Pride and Prejudice is the unforgettable story of the lively and quick-witted Miss Elizabeth Bennet and the smoldering and haughty Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Set in rural Regency England, the Bennets are a family with five daughters who will not inherit their family's estate which is entailed to the nearest male relative. When Elizabeth first meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he may or may not be utterly indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. In this sparkling coming of age comedy of manners, our dear couple quickly discovers the dangers of first impressions and that sometimes is takes a little time and and a lot of understanding for love to fully bloom. Run time for this play is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. 

Special Ticket Add-Ons: Pre-Show Regency Tea Party ($25pp) Sunday, February 9th at Noon and A Valentine Day Couples Package ($20 per couple) Friday, February 14th 7:30p Show.

From the writing team that brought us Assassins and Pacific Overtures – Road Show is based on the true story of the Mizner Brothers.

Spanning 40 years, Addison and Wilson Mizner are constantly looking for the next way to strike it rich. This quest turns into a test of morality and judgment for the two brothers that will change their lives in unexpected ways.
