PICKLEBALL & WONDER OF THE WORLD
~ No apologies, no excuses, just one laugh after another ~
TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
PICKLEBALL
by Jeff Daniels
Directed by Susan McCandless
Fri/Sat, June 19 - July 17
From the creative and wacky mind of actor and playwright Jeff Daniels,
who also wrote the smash hit Escanaba in ‘da Moonlight, comes PICKLEBALL.
Daniels was inspired to write the play after talking to, and mocking,
his wife who became obsessed with the game during Covid.
The play focuses on four below-average players who have an opportunity to compete
in a local tournament, but first must learn to overcome their limitations and
find greatness, in a game where there are no apologies and no excuses.
It’s a satirical look at the fastest-growing sport in America,
a game that has nothing to do with pickles.

Wonder of the World
by David Lindsay-Abaire
Directed by John Ewing
Fri/Sat, Aug 7 - Sept 5
WONDER OF THE WORLD is a joyously zany play by
Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire.
When Cass discovers a dirty little secret in her husband’s sweater drawer,
she flees to the honeymoon capital of the world, Niagara Falls, to start a new life
and check off everything on her bucket list.
During her journey, she crosses paths with a pleasantly suicidal alcoholic,
a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bumbling private eyes, and a moonlighting therapist,
all pushing her closer to the water’s edge.
