Here is the schedule for the year:

“Leaving Iowa” performances on May 28, 29, June 3-5, 9-12. It is described as a laugh-out-loud comedy about Don Browning, a middle-aged writer who returns home and decides to finally take his father’s ashes to his childhood home.

“Cliffhanger” performances are Sept 3, 4, 9-11 & 15-18. Mingling suspense and humor, this thriller follows Henry Lowenthal, a mild-mannered professor of philosophy who is looking forward to being appointed to an endowed chair so he and his wife can enjoy their golden years with honor and dignity. But their plans are given a rude jolt.
“Don’t Dress for Dinner” performances are Oct 15, 16, 21-23 and 27-30. Bernard is planning a weekend with his chic mistress in a farmhouse. His plan is foolproof; what could possibly go wrong?
“A Christmas Survival Guide” performances are Dec 3, 4, 9-11, and 15-18. This intimate revue takes a wry and knowing look at a stressful season.
