COTTON PATCH GOSPEL (September 13th-29th) is a spirited musical that reimagines the story of Jesus set in rural Georgia, infusing it with gospel, bluegrass, and country music. The musical brings a unique charm and authenticity to the familiar biblical tale. Through its lively performances and heartfelt storytelling, Cotton Patch Gospel explores themes of love, redemption, and social justice, leaving audiences uplifted and inspired.
THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ (October 18th-November 3rd) tells the story of Frank Baum's beloved classic, as he narrates. Swept to Oz on a cyclone, Dorothy joins with the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion as she searches for home and family. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz celebrates the importance of mind and heart; courage in facing what is feared; the need to dream, to dare, to ride out storms; the joys of loving, laughing, crying, being lost and found. Faithful to the original book, Virginia Koste's play creates a fresh framework for Oz.
THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER (December 6th-15th) is the hilarious Christmas classic that'll have you laughing all night long!

You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas!
SPIDER'S WEB (February 14th-March 1st) tells the thrilling story of Clarissa, wife of a diplomat, who is adept at spinning tales of adventure. However, when a murder takes place in her drawing room she finds live drama much harder to cope with. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she enlists the help of her guests. Hilarity ensues when they are interrupted by the arrival of wry detective, Inspector Lord. A conscious parody of the detective thriller, Christie delivers a unique blend of suspense and humour. There is tension and laughter in equal parts in an intricate plot of invisible ink, hidden doorways and secret drawers.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (April 11th-25th) The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical.

But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire Von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
