 In a small Oklahoma town, an innocent girl, Ainsley, marries a just-released convict with whom she's corresponded for three years. Jack's never told her why he went to jail, and with his newfound religion he says it doesn't matter: Providence has seen to it that he would marry a good woman and raise a family.  

The clues are all there for Ainsley, but she's never been in love before…so when Jack has to wear an electronic surveillance device, she doesn't question it. It's just after Jack's parole officer stops by and tells her what put Jack in prison that Ainsley begins to have doubts. 

Featuring Joseph Lyle Taylor, Jay Sullivan, and Porter La Pray

In the topsy-turvey, world of Alice’s ever-wandering, ever-curious head where anything and everything is possible and nothing is what it seems, we explore a playful, magical, and strange world. Inspired by Lewis Caroll’s classic children’s novel Alice in Wonderland, this staged version of the story offers a Young Adult perspective through Alice’s ‘looking glass’ of a world that is that is simultaneously a familiar and strange place to navigate to and understand.  

This Young Adult production is appropriate for younger audiences.

Men On Boats

Written by Jaclyn Backhaus, directed by Sophia Watt
February 18-20 @ 7:30pm, February 21 at 2:00 pm.
Studio Theatre  

Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Men on Boats is the true(ish) history of an 1869 expedition, when a one-armed captain and a crew of insane yet loyal volunteers set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. 

With the adventurers being played by an ensemble of women and gender-expansive actors, Men On Boats reframes masculine arrogance as a farcical, thrilling exploration of everything that goes into, well, exploration.

In the near future, Stella and her fiancé, Bryan, are waiting at their remote cabin for Stella’s estranged twin sister, Cassie. Raised by their astronaut father to be NASA scientists, the twins have taken different paths: Cassie has just returned from a successful moon mission, while Stella left NASA behind. When Cassie arrives, old conflicts reignite, forcing the sisters to choose between life on Earth or pursuing a future in space, as humanity’s fate hangs in the balance. WALDEN is a thrilling and engrossing new play that wrestles between the gravitational pulls of duty and desire.
