Macbeth

7:00 pm Tickets $5 at the door
On their way home from battle, Macbeth and Banquo, Generals in King Duncan's Army, are met by three witches that make wild proclamations. Startled and thrown into tumultuous ambivalence, both Macbeth and Banquo ponder what their proclamations mean. Wonder turns into unfettered ambition, and soon Macbeth and his wife set foot on a path that only leads in one direction, a direction of descent. As we observe this, we are left questioning free will, predestination, ambition, fate, and the very true weight of guilt.
In May, 1939, Captain Schroeder pilots the SS St. Louis, a luxury ocean liner, away from its home port in hamburg, Germany. His goal: to deliver 937 Jewish refugees out of the hands of Nazism and into the safe port of Havana, Cuba. But when Cuba is the first of several countries to deny the refugees safe harbor, a vicious Nazi plot is exposed. This historical drama by Don Zolidis chronicles the perseverance of the St. Louis passengers and their struggle to find freedom, safety, and even, love. A heartbreaking story of betrayal and hope in one of history's darkest times.

Just before a Christmas in the late 1930’s, Sheridan Whiteside, a noted radio personality, is invited to dinner at the home of Ernest W. and Daisy Stanley in Mesalia, Ohio. After slipping on ice and claiming to have dislocated his hip, he becomes an intrusive and outrageously demanding houseguest.
Pride and Prejudice is a streamlined theatrical version of Jane Austen’s classic novel involving manners, courtship and relationships. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, all feelings of attraction are muted by his pride and her prejudice.

This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner Elf. (Broadway.com)
