The Hound of the Baskervilles - July 15
A masterpiece of mystery, farce, and suspense. Told in a madcap style, three actors breathlessly play sixteen characters in an uproarious parody of the most celebrated Sherlock Holmes novel of all time.
Poetry Out Loud - April 15

How to Start to Write - June 15
We’ve all got at least one story, including the one that is tucked away or the one that has yet to be imagined. Is it a play, a short story or a poem? Join us as we talk with one of the country’s most experienced writers as we explore how to begin.
