Leonard Vole stands accused of murdering a rich widow. The stakes are high with shocking witness testimony, impassioned outbursts from the dock,
and a young man's fight to escape the hangman's noose. Generally regarded as one of Agatha Christie's most accomplished plays,
this suspenseful thriller keeps audiences guessing until the very end. |

A Visit From St. Nicholas or The Night Before Christmas
by Lowell Swortzell
Featuring a new Holiday Showcase
Direction by Joe Thompson
Performances run December 5 — 15, 2024
Wednesday through Sunday
Join us this December at the Thomas family holiday party, where the descendants of Clement Clarke Moore like to reenact the creation
of his most famous poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas", and how it was almost lost to the annals of time...
On Christmas Eve, 1822, Clement Clarke Moore's house is not as quiet as a mouse—in fact, everyone is stirring.
The three children await the arrival of St. Nicholas. Mother and Father arise thinking they hear intruders. Cousin Harriet enlists the children
to copy the poem their father has just written for them, which she hopes to have published for all young people to enjoy.
But Father, as a distinguished professor who fears being known as a poet for children, burns the poem so it can never leave the house.
At first heartbroken, the children unite to save the poem for posterity by improvising it through a riotous enactment.
With a new Holiday Showcase from Joe Thompson, this is a holiday party that everyone wants to attend and everyone will enjoy!
Tickets are $15 and general seating.

Jack Trot and his mother, Dame Trot live in a village called Merrydale. Jack is in love with King Bertram’s daughter, the lovely Princess Demelza.
The village is being terrorized by the Giant who lives Up-In-The Clouds. He demands increased taxes and the hand of the Princess in marriage.
In order to pay the Giant, Dame Trot and Jack are forced to sell their cow Daisy. However, Jack is tricked by Slimeball, the Giant’s henchman,
who pays him in beans instead of cash; and who abducts the Princess and takes her to the Giant. Jack throws the beans away in disgust,
but magically they grow into a huge beanstalk allowing him to climb up into the clouds to rescue the Princess. Will it end happily ever after?
