IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY
February 20 - March 1, 2026
Written by Ray Cooney

Directed By Angelica Bondy

Set in a hospital, It Runs in the Family contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else, as Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex wife, a punkish child and various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture in an international conference.

A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO
LOVE AND MURDER

April 24 - May 3, 2025
Book and Lyrics by Robert L. Freedman
Music and Lyrics by Steven Lutvak
Based on the Novel by Roy Horniman

Directed By Michael Van Newkirk

In this laugh out loud musical comedy, when the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind...
