Written by Larry Shue

Directed by Jerry Genochio

Charlie Baker needs to get away, and his friend Froggy knows just the place - his favorite fishing lodge in rural Georgia. To give Charlie much needed peace and quiet, Froggy convinces the locals Charlie doesn’t understand English. But the plan backfires when the lodge’s inhabitants reveal deep secrets and diabolical plans in front of their quiet foreign guest. Nonstop hilarity ensues and builds to an outrageously funny climax in this wild and wacky comedy.
Appropriate for ages 9 & up.

Written by David Sedaris

Directed by Jerry Genochio

America’s favorite irreverent elf Crumpet arrives in Kansas City! David Sedaris’ hysterical tale of elfin’ woe is a hilarious one-man send-up of his brief, misguided career as a Macy’s elf. The show skewers our sentimental love of all things Christmas—the happy children, the gifts, the spritely elves and the good cheer.
The Santaland Diaries shows us the other side of what it’s like to work at Santaland, the result is merrily subversive, but always fun!
Appropriate for ages 16 & up.

As an internationally-renowned vocalist and star of stage and screen, Paul Robeson was one of the best known African American artists in the world in the early 20th century. Through his singing and acting talent, he became enormously popular and wealthy; but as a champion for human rights, he became controversial to his people and his country. Featuring excerpts from some of Robeson’s signature songs, The Tallest Tree showcases award-winning playwright and performer Daniel Beaty in a stunning piece that explores the bold choices that defined Robeson’s remarkable life.
