Announcing Our New Season

The Artistic Committee has been hard at work reading plays and considering our resources. We’re excited to announce the 2025-26 lineup:

• Ripcord (Feb-March), a hilarious comedy about two incompatible room mates in a seniors’ residence and the out-of-control bet they make with each other. Funny but poignant, too.
• The Book of Will (April-May), based on the true story of Will Shakespeare’s best friends struggling to preserve his plays in uncorrupted form after his death. Full of wit and wisdom.
