This multi-award-winning musical has captured the hearts of people all over the world!   As Tevye tries to hold onto his religion, his Russian-Jewish traditions and his five daughters, he learns that life is "as shaky as a fiddler on the roof." You'll dance with "Matchmaker, Matchmaker;" laugh out loud with "If I Were a Rich Man;" and find tears in your eyes with "Sunrise, Sunset" and "Anatevka." This is a story that will last forever in your heart. Let's celebrate together. To Life! L'Chaim!

Jake finds a suicide note in his mailbox. He doesn't know who it's from, or to whom it is addressed. His friends speculate, joke, and lose interest while Jake becomes obsessed. He goes on a crusade to find the author of the note. Instead, he stumbles upon a secret he never wanted to know.

This play explores how a group of teenagers publicly and privately deal with the issue of suicide. It is honest, straightforward, and also humorous. There is a great balance between ensemble, character, and monologue work.
Arts Live Theatre brings another original adapation of this 1959 B-movie from Outer Space!

A young alien falls for a pretty teenage Earth girl  and they team up to try to stop the plans of his invading cohorts, who intend to use Earth as a food-breeding ground for giant lobsters from their planet. The invaders, who arrive in a flying saucer, carry deadly ray guns that turn Earth-people into skeletons.  A fun, campy romp filled with laughs and ray guns!

It's 1965 and Ponyboy Curtis belongs to a lower-class group of Oklahoma youths who call themselves greasers. Walking home from a movie, Ponyboy is attacked by a group of Socs, short for Socials, a rival gang that threaten to cut him. So begins this impactful tale by S.E. Hinton, who wrote this landmark work as a teen in Tulsa.

The Socs jump greasers like Ponyboy and his friend Johnny for fun. When Johnny kills a Soc who was beating the two of them up, the pair goes into hiding. As Pony's world crumbles, it teaches him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser.

In this comic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Denmark is plagued with zombies led by Hamlet’s uncle/step-father, the current king of Denmark.  When Hamlet learns from his zombified father the plot of his uncle –
a plan to turn Denmark into a land of the
undead – Hamlet knows he must stop him!
Or not. If he could only be sure!  A clever
adaptation of the Shakespeare’s classic
tragedy, Hamlet, Zombie Killer of Denmark
blends the original text with new, zombified
dialogue, with much of the new text written in the iambic tradition of Shakespeare.
