The Prom

Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. On a mission to make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with a courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance.

Grand Ball is a dance for grandparents (and honorary grandparents!) and their grandchildren featuring recorded music from the 1940s through the 2020s.

Admission by donation. We suggest minimum $5 for grandkids and $10 for grandparents.

Crimes of the Heart

Warmhearted, irreverent, zany and brilliantly imaginative, Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play examines the plight of three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions.

Play On

A theatre group tries desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does.

RECEPTION
The Stars of David Project

The number six million is both overwhelming and abstract. It is recited in books, museums, and classrooms, but the human weight of that number is nearly impossible to hold. By drawing each star, the artist insists on slowing down to acknowledge every single life. Each star is imperfect, each one slightly different, and each one created with intention, because each person was singular, irreplaceable, and part of the Jewish story that continues to shape us.
