Show Synopsis:
As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions
of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama.
A contrasting story of childhood friends, an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood,
provides private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers, and one feisty children’s author
inhabit the same page in a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope.

Sibling rivalry, adultery, and dungeons – “The Lion in Winter,” by James Goldman, is a modern-day classic.
Comedic in tone, dramatic in action – the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom.
The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II.
Let out only for holidays, the play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom and King Henry’s paramour during the Christmas of 1183.
As Eleanor says, “Every family has its ups and downs,” and this royal family is no exception.
Roles:
Henry II  - King of England, Age 50’s
Alais – a French Princess, mid 20’s
John, - the youngest son
Geoffry – the middle son
Richard Lionheart – the oldest son
Eleanor – Henry’s wife – early 60’s
Philip  - King of France, late 20’s to 30’s

The Winslow Boy is a compelling courtroom drama that explores themes of justice, family loyalty, and sacrifice. Set in Edwardian England,
the play follows the Winslow family as they fight to clear the name of their young son, Ronnie, who is accused of theft at school.
His father, Arthur Winslow, embarks on a relentless quest for justice, risking everything to defend his son’s honor.
Through sharp dialogue and emotional depth, the play examines the tension between personal duty and the price of truth,
while offering a timeless commentary on moral courage and social responsibility. The Winslow Boy remains a powerful and poignant reflection
on what it means to stand up for what is right, no matter the cost.
* Please Note: The Winslow Boy contains mentions of suicide, and outdated language and attitudes.
