The Odd Couple (female version)
By Neil Simon
Directed by Allen Pontes
Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon's hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of The Odd Couple. Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the hilarious Constanzuela brothers. "Very funny indeed."-N.Y. Post. "Endearing."-USA Today.

The Three Musketeers
By Ken Ludwig
Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas
Directed by Susan McCandless
Bring your family to this fresh, fast-paced, and funny adaptation of one of literature’s most thrilling romantic adventures. The dashing musketeers - and one plucky kid sister - swashbuckle their way through nefarious villains, international intrigue, and exotic ladies. It's "all for one and one for all!" in an action-packed update of this beloved classic. "[A] slick, swashbuckling romp that cleverly updates the Dumas novel ... Ken Ludwig’s new version of the story simply refreshes it, distilling its energy and strengthening its timeless appeal." - The Guardian

Around the World in 80 Days
By Mark Brown
Based on the novel by Jules Verne
Directed by Allen Pontes
Stampeding elephants! Raging typhoons! Runaway trains! Unabashedly high-spirited fun! This globe-trotting epic is the original Amazing Race. Fearless adventurer Phileas Fogg has agreed to an outrageous wager that puts his life and fortune at risk. With his loyal French manservant, Passepartout, by his side, Fogg sets off to circumnavigate the globe in a mere 80 days. To complicate matters, the bumbling, inept lawman, Detective Fix, has mistaken Fogg for a notorious bank robber and tenaciously dogs Fogg’s footsteps around the globe. The tension builds as danger, romance, and hilarious surprises abound in this whirlwind, family fare adventure across seven continents.

A Tuna Christmas
By Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, Ed Howard
Directed by Julie Anchor
Seasons Greeting from A Tuna Christmas, the hilarious sequel to the hit comedy, Greater Tuna. Come spend the holidays with all your old favorite citizens of Tuna, Texas, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. This time, it's 24 hours before Christmas and all comic heck is about to break loose as the delightfully eccentric characters attempt to cope with seasonal traumas such as a disaster prone little theatre production of A Christmas Carol, and a yard decorating contest that is being sabotaged by a mysterious Christmas phantom! "A hoot!"-NY Times
