Regarded as the ultimate theatrical farce, NOISES OFF is a riotous rollercoaster of slamming doors, romantic entanglements, and slapstick chaos. Behind the scenes of a disastrous play-within-a-play, a troupe of hapless thespians struggle to bring their production to life. As their rehearsals descend into comedic catastrophe, the actors, director, and stage manager learn the hilarious and hard way what happens when everything that can go wrong does. This uproarious journey will leave you laughing until the final curtain.

“Noises Off” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Be a holiday hero and bring your brood downtown this season to bask in the warm glow of holiday lights and experience the joy of a tale that is anything but your average Christmas “story.” From the cozy charm of the Parker family home to the festive frenzy of Higbee’s department store, this all-star production brings merry magic to your beloved characters live on stage. It’s not just a Christmas story, it’s a holiday experience you and your entire family will cherish for years to come. This show is rated PG for allusion to explicit language, brief and mild violence on stage, themes of bullying, and romantic innuendo. Suitable for most audiences with guidance urged for pre-teens.

Produced by special arrangement with DRAMATIC PUBLISHING, Woodstock, Illinois

Fresh from its Tony Award®-winning and headlinemaking Broadway run, Amy Herzog’s enthralling adaptation of Ibsen’s 1883 classic delivers a searing tale of truth versus corruption. When idealist Dr. Thomas Stockman uncovers life-threatening contamination at his town’s new spa, his fight to expose this ignites bitter battles between foes, friends, and family that shake the fragile community to its core. With echoes of our modern political and cultural landscape, this gripping environmentalist parable lays bare the price of integrity in a society where profit often outweighs justice. Hailed as “Crackling and persuasive” by The New York Times

“An Enemy of the People (Herzog)” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

To make the perfect mai tai, you only need a few simple ingredients: rum, fruit juice, and simple syrup. But crafting a Pulitzer Prize-winning play? That takes something far more special. In her acclaimed PRIMARY TRUST, Eboni Booth masterfully blends sweet and sour characters, a splash of comedy and drama, and yes, bottomless mai tais to serve up an intoxicating tale of the immeasurable impact of radical kindness. After a career setback, lovable loner Kenneth must confront his demons, both real and imagined, only to discover angels around every corner in a community he never thought he belonged to. His journey is a poignant, uplifting, and deeply human one sure to linger long after the final sip.
