2025-2026 Season: Community Bonds
FALL 2025
An Enemy of the People
By Arthur Miller
Adapted from Henrick Ibsen's play
Directed by Andrew Beck
A small town descends into chaos when Dr. Stockman makes a startling scientific discovery and attempts to warn the community about the looming catastrophe. Rather than accepting the facts, influential leaders conspire against the doctor for daring to speak truth to power, ultimately turning friends and neighbors against each other. Ibsen’s 1882 play is as relevant as ever in its exploration of politics, corruption, and speaking truth to power.

Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Play
By Anne Washburn
Original Score by Michael Friedman
Directed by Elizabeth Helman
Music Direction by Nicholas Larson
In a post-apocalyptic future, a group of survivors gather to distract themselves from the loss of civilization by retelling beloved pieces of popular media around a campfire. As the years wear on, theatre groups specialize in mythologizing an episode of The Simpsons to suit their own new social mores. This bizarre, funny, and surprising play explores the power of story to buoy community in times of loss and tragedy.
