Jack


adapted by Noah Smith

Jack can't win!  His inventor-father has gone missing, he and his mother are on the verge of poverty, and he just sold their only cow for a handful of beans.   Could it get any worse?  Well, maybe if he climbs this giant beanstalk he can find a few answers, but only if the evil Giant doesn't catch him!   Join Jack on his magical adventure into the clouds.

ALICE
adapted by Jack Neary

LONESTAR/LAUNDRY & BOURBON

by James McLure

Excellent apart, brilliant together, James McLure's two darkly comic one-acts weave the interconnecting stories of three men and three women on one hot summer day in Maynard, Texas.  In Laundry and Bourbon, Elizabeth, Hattie, and Amy Lee fold laundry, share gossip, and try to withstand the withering heat and each other. In the companion piece, Lone Star, beer and a 1959 pink Thunderbird convertible draw Ray, Roy, and Cletis together as they while away an evening in their tiny Texas town, but startling revelations threaten to tear them apart.

All shows 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 general admission
