WAR OF THE WORLDS 2023

It’s 2023, and the Martians have landed in Connecticut. Why are they here, what do they want, and just how much mayhem will our 24-hour news coverage of their arrival incite? HG Wells’ sci-fi masterpiece The War of The Worlds meets Carlo Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters in this hilarious exploration of fascination, fear and the power of talking heads. With puppets! A world premiere.

 

A DOCTOR’S DILEMMA

March 21 – 30, 2024
The Nafe Katter Theatre
 
A doctor who has discovered a lifesaving cure must make an impossible decision. With only one lifesaving dose remaining and two people in need, whom should he save?  A scalpel-sharp satirical examination of the medical establishment, love and the value of art.  

 

THE 25^th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

Book by Rachel Sheinkin

Cheer on 6 eclectic mid-pubescent bee contestants as they vie for the coveted county championship and struggle to avoid the soul-crushing ‘ding’ of the elimination bell. Winning isn’t everything and losing does not necessarily make you a loser. A hilarious and endearing Tony-Award-winning musical.
