“Our Town” is the story of each of us "in our growing up and in our marrying, and in our living, and in our dying." Through it all, Thornton Wilder urges us to seize each day and appreciate the wonder of each passing moment. First produced in 1938, the Pulitzer-Prize winning “Our Town” has become an American stage treasure and is Wilder's most renowned and frequently performed play.
Heartland
By Anita Simons and Lauren Simon
Directed by Eric Bishop
A World Premiere! Based on true stories from World War II, Heartland is set on a small, family-run dairy farm in Wisconsin where, in March 1945, a German-born widow and her children are struggling to make ends meet after the family patriarch has died. When they receive notice from the War Manpower Commission offering two Prisoners of War to work their farm, it seems like an answer to the family’s prayers, but the arrival of these two strangers causes changes no one had anticipated.

Anything Goes
Music and lyrics by Cole Porter, written by Guy Bolton & P.G. Wodehouse
Directed by Tracy Williams
The sophisticated music of Cole Porter, a reliable and simple plot, mismatched lovers, super-sized characters and more onstage marriages than a Shakespearean comedy make this play a must see for all ages. Hop on board this ship and hear such tunes as “I Get a Kick Out Of You,” “You’re the Top” and of course, “Anything Goes”.

Anna in the Tropics
By Nilo Cruz
Directed by Eric Bishop
Set in the steamy confines of a Cuban cigar factory outside of Tampa, 1929, "Anna in the Tropics" revolves around the dramas of a family who own a cigar factory and the arrival of an intelligent, attractive man, Juan Jullian, who was brought in to read aloud Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" to the workers. His arrival, however, turns their world upside down, sends the ladies swooning and makes their husbands fuming mad. Nilo Cruz's Pulitzer Prize winning play recalls a time when technology was a lesser beast and joys like fine cigars were lovingly rolled by humans.
