 Jeffery Kin’s new
play has been a hit with audiences and recognized as an
award-winning play at several competitions. The story is about a
young man, mourning the death of his lover, whose life changes
for the better when he meets a delightfully talkative woman on a
bus ride to New York. Margaret becomes something of a guardian
angel to Jason, who manages to find the happiness he thought he
would never feel again. Audiences will walk away inspired to
take a closer look at their fellow human beings, no matter who
they are. Even strangers.

| The Eight:
Reindeer Monologues |
|
WARNING: This
play is NOT for children or people who actually enjoy
Christmas. |
|
The Eight is a story about
Santa’s beloved reindeer and their issues with sexual
harassment, alcoholism, homosexuality and the working conditions
at Santa’s toyshop. When one member of the sleigh team speaks
out, the media wants answers to what happened that night in the
toyshop. The dark comedy, set in the North Pole, takes you
through each of the famous reindeer’s thoughts on the scandalous
claims against Mr. Claus. With all of this going on, will the
spirit of Christmas survive?

acclaim, Walmartopia is back by popular demand for ONE WEEKEND

| Dutch Love |
| |
 DUTCH LOVE is a rousing comedy
featuring a nuclear family that is about to explode. Hal and
Leonora have been married for over twenty years and raised a
daughter, Cass, the apple of their eyes. The family has learned
to cope with Hal’s extramarital dalliances along the way -- that
is until Lenora decides that what’s good for the gander can’t be
bad for the goose. Soon enough, Dutch, who is dedicated to
arousing the passion of neglected women, has swept Leonora off
her feet. But when Dutch arrives at the house for Easter dinner
and meets Cass, things get hotter than Dutch love in a haymow.
Full of unexpected twists, turns and delightful insights, DUTCH
LOVE is a hilarious look at all kinds of love and all types of
family.
DUTCH LOVE features Christopher
Babiarz as Hal, Pam Adams as Leonora, Kelly Kiorpes as Cass, Tim
Spires as Andrei, and Katy Conley as Dutch. It is co-directed by
Roseann Sheridan and Tara Ayres.
