In this honest and unflinching dramatization of teen-girl angst, a window is opened into the tumultuous and destructive world of girls' bullying.  Based upon interviews with girls on the giving and receiving end of bullying, the play highlights the impact of "cyberbullying," the facilitation of mean-spirited behaviors through the use of cell phones, text and instant messaging, e-mail and chat rooms. The portrayal of the sobering reality of these girls' lives can start a conversation in homes, schools and communities, providing the opportunity to reveal the secrets and address the complexities which dominate the lives of many young women.

In this stage adaptation of what has been called "the worst movie ever made", extraterrestrial beings seek to stop humans from creating a doomsday weapon that would destroy the universe. In the course of doing so, the aliens implement "Plan 9", a scheme to resurrect Earth's dead as what modern audiences would consider zombies (called "ghouls" in the film itself) to get the planet's attention, causing chaos.  The perfect treat for Halloween and fun for the entire family, Plan 9 From Outer Space is silly cosmic fun!
In collaboration with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Arts, the Theatre Art Project will be used as an education-performance tool to teach about American art through the art of the theatre.  Using works throughout the museum as its foundation, the Theatre Art Project will bring the history of the artist and subject to life springing off the canvas and onto the stage!  Performances will take place periodically throughout the year at Crystal Bridges in conjuction with their children's and youth programming.

The brainy and beautiful Belle yearns to escape her provincial life...and her brute of a suitor, Gaston. However, Belle gets more adventurous than she wanted when she becomes a captive in the Beast's enchanted castle! Dancing flatware, menacing wolves, and singing furniture fill the stage with thrills in Disney's Beauty and the Beast Jr., a beloved fairy tale about very different people finding strength in one another and learning how to love.

John Knowles' classic tale of two high-school boys standing on the threshold of war and adulthood comes to the stage. Gene Forrester is a careful, studious young man, full of fear of the future and Phineas is an exceptional athlete and a consummate charmer. The two become the best of friends and it seems the perfect match until the fear in Gene and the world around him can no longer tolerate the life in Finny. The two face each other, both figuratively and literally, on a tree limb overlooking death.  This is the story of both learning to face the world and face oneself. Although the era and anxiety belong to 1942, the search for a "special and separate peace" is timeless.
