UPCOMING
Written by Larissa FastHorse, The Thanksgiving Play is a sharp, satirical comedy that follows a group of well-meaning but hilariously misguided educators as they try to create a Thanksgiving pageant that is both inclusive and historically accurate. Their increasingly absurd attempts to avoid cultural missteps highlight the challenges of navigating political correctness with sensitivity and humor. This award-winning play is a laugh-out-loud exploration of privilege, cultural appropriation, and the complications of good intentions. Simpson Theatre. November
With music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and a book by Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5: The Musical is a vibrant adaptation of the iconic 1980 film. The story follows three office workers—Violet, Judy, and Doralee—who team up to overthrow their sexist, egotistical boss and revolutionize their workplace. Packed with catchy songs, hilarious moments, and an empowering message, this musical is a celebration of female friendship and resilience. Don't miss this high-energy production that will leave you singing long after you leave the theatre! Drama Theatre. April
Ken Ludwig's Leading Ladies is a madcap comedy full of mistaken identities, outrageous schemes, and unexpected romance. The story centers on two down-on-their-luck actors who impersonate long-lost female relatives to inherit a fortune. Their plan seems foolproof—until love and their own antics complicate things. Ludwig's knack for fast-paced humor and heart makes Leading Ladies a delightful, laugh-filled evening for the whole audience. Drama Theatre. February
