The FALL SHOW - Nov 14 & 15, 2025

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE: A SPOOF by Michael Druce

"This spoof of the famous stage mystery is all comedy, filled with hilarious sight gags and dialogue. Ten people are brought together by mysterious invitation to the Reef Mansion on a tiny, isolated island. Not one of them knows the host, who is nowhere to be found. Still, he has left an ominous recording that bodes evil for the guests. Like the chocolate soldiers that inexplicably disappear from the mantel one by one, the guests begin to die one by one. Luckily, Inspector Miles is among the guests, but even he is stymied as to who the murderer could be. As the guests begin to reappear in the final scene, we discover the farcical twist! A great spoof, this delightful script that’s a cinch to costume and stage doesn’t miss any opportunity for lively comedy and humor." ~Pioneer Drama Service

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE: A SPOOF is our fall show that will be entered into the WISDAA's One Act Play Festival. This is a celebrated program where Wisconsin high schools prepare and present a play no longer than 40 minutes. Schools who advance at the district and sectional levels qualify to perform at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Theatre Festival in mid-November.

Performance dates are Friday, November 14 at 5:30pm and Saturday, November 15 at 7:00pm. Tickets are general seating at $5 and online purchases will be available soon or buy at the door. There is also a 25th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, Nov 15 with a dinner. Stay tuned!

The WINTER SHOW - January 9 - 11, 2025

Winter Showcase '26

Student written (former Advanced Drama students), student directed, student performed and student set and tech designed and executed. This showcase highlights three various genres in one acts :

A Christmas Plan by Charles Shaw - The story of A Christmas Carol is well known, but how did it come to be? Who is the person behind Scrooge's fate and the night that changes a hundred? In a story of searching for answers and finding the truth, Ebenezer Scrooge's old business partner, Jacob Marley, embarks on a journey to save his life, while saving the life of the little boy, tiny Tim.
I Can't Have Both by Lexi Heinrich - A glass half empty is looking at life with ill thought. But for Sam, that glass is also filled with bad smelling breath and a mom who lusts for the past while making bad choices. What to choose? A change to move forward or to chase something that will never come back?
Troubling Tides by Elisabeth Wettern - Ahoy matey! This show is a swing through the past, present, and well, pirates. It takes you through a journey of fighting, teamwork, romance, and mystery. You know, just your average high school experience. Take a look through the perspective of our three heroes as they adventure through the long forgotten world of pirates by doing the scariest thing of all. Reading.

Performance dates are Friday, Jan 9 & Saturday, Jan 10 at 7:00pm and Sunday, Jan 11 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $7 and will go on sale in December. Stay tuned for more details!

The SPRING MUSICAL - April 30 - May 3, 2026.

CHICAGO: TEEN EDITION

"In “Roaring Twenties” Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap... until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal." ~Concord Theatricals

The Teen Edition transposes vocal ranges to best suit high school students. It also removes many blatant and promiscuous language. As we are in theatre education, we are stylizing “Flapper Chic” and exploring the world of Vaudeville! This is not to be confused with Burlesque, which many see on Broadway and in the 2002 movie. Despite this, the story still remains the same!

Performance dates and times are Thursday, April 30th at 7:00pm, Friday May 1st at 7:00pm, Saturday May 2nd at 7:00pm and Sunday May 3rd at 2:00pm. Tickets are $15 and $10 for students. Tickets are reserved so order your tickets online as soon as they go on sale March 25th!
