The Woman in black
​​​September 2025

The Mousetrap
​​​November 2025

Directed by: Lisa Monteiro Crain

DIRECTED BY: Shanna Meier

Susan Hill’s chilling ghost story comes to life on stage in The Woman in Black, a brilliantly crafted and deeply unsettling piece of theatre adapted by Stephen Mallatratt.  At the heart of the story is Arthur Kipps, a man tormented by a traumatic past. In a desperate attempt to exorcise the horrors that haunt him, he enlists a young actor to help reenact the events that changed his life. But as their storytelling deepens, so does the eerie presence that looms just beyond the edges of the stage. This ghost story unfolds in whispers and shadows—where every creak and flicker might mean she is near. Come experience a theatrical event that has been called “The most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will ever encounter" (Daily Telegraph) Join us—if you dare. Because once you see her, there’s no turning back!

Annie
​​​Summer 2026

​DIRECTED BY: Gloriann Arnett

Annie tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan's orphanage, spunky Annie believes that her parents are still alive and will one day return to claim her. So when Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks' whopping reward for Annie's parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily and the wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward. But don't fret: This classic family musical has a happy ending for Annie, Daddy Warbucks and the whole gang
As news spreads of a murder in London, a group of seven strangers find themselves snowed in at a remote countryside guesthouse. When a police sergeant arrives the guests discover, to their horror, a killer is in their midst! The seven strangers, the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone, become increasingly suspicious of each other. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.
