Words, Words, Words, by David Ives

Directed by Mindy Branstetter

This comedy is set in a laboratory where a bizarre experiment is taking place. Monkeys type while scientists observe.

The Auto Waits, an adaptation of an O. Henry story by Walter Wykes

Directed by Marty Gephart

Set in the 1920s, this play features a clash between social sets with, of course, a twist.

Each play will be preceded by a mood-setting drama presented by a group of young players. During intermission these same young artists will perform light-hearted music directed by Susan Rule.
