This dramatization of C.S. Lewis’ classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. The intense action features chases, duels and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

A Comedy About Family Roadtrips
Newspaper columnist Don Browning is searching for the perfect spot to scatter his dad’s ashes years after his death. Join him as he sets out on a solo journey across the Midwest and through some of the zany and emotional family road trip vacations he took with his Dad, Mom, and sister.
Through the long stretches of corn fields, conflicts with siblings, and the tourist traps that litter his memories, he rediscovers his love and admiration for his Dad.
Leaving Iowa is a rewarding journey — one that goes beyond nostalgia and into the very nature of families and the joys and experiences that bind us together.

The greatest love story in American history is, appropriately enough, the story of the Lovings. In the 1950s, Richard Loving, a white Virginia construction worker, fell in love with Mildred Jeter, a Black woman. Because state law prohibited interracial marriage, authorities arrested the couple. Their journey celebrates the ultimate triumph of love over prejudice and hate. The tenacity of the Lovings, who wanted nothing more than to be left alone to raise a family, remains an enduring inspiration that reaffirms a fundamental right: the freedom to love whomever you choose.

2 Across, by Jerry Mayer
Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 – Factory Street Brewing Company
We’ll be partnering with Factory Street Brewing Company to open our season with a fun-filled night of music, comedy, dinner, and a play! 2 Across, by Jerry Mayer, is a one-act comedy where two strangers meet on an early morning commuter train, each with The New York Times crosswords firmly in hand. This heart-warming story shows that opposites do indeed attract as an organized, sensible, uptight but lovely rule follower collides with a free spirited, unemployed, laid back rebel. Directed by Sandy Slayton, this show will be the perfect ending to a great night out. Who knew “crosswords could be a metaphor for life”.
