The Mysterious Case of the Missing Ring
by Janie Downey Maxwell
March 6-8, 2026
A frantic queen’s prized royal ring has vanished, prompting a hilariously motley crew of thirteen detectives—from Maximum Smarts and the stealthy Agent 98 (with her Umbrella of Silence), to a germ-phobic sleuth and a fortune-telling Gypsy Rose—to scour the Queendom for the prized jewel. This fast-paced, madcap mystery overflows with quirky characters, comedic chaos, and a delightfully unexpected twist that “rings” true.
Urinetown, the Musical
music by Mark Hollman
lyrics by Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis
book by Greg Kotis
May 1-10, 2026
"Urinetown" is a darkly comedic musical satire where a drought has led to a government ban on private toilets, forcing citizens to pay to use public amenities run by a corrupt corporation. Blending sharp humor, biting social commentary, and over-the-top theatricality, it skewers capitalism, bureaucracy, and even the conventions of musical theatre itself.
