THE CAT IN THE CASTLE | Two cats, Hugo and Mimi, invade a castle where a wicked queen keeps a pterodactyl on guard against the creatures, because she’s allergic to them. The choicest ingredient of the play—though the entire cast is delightful—is the winsome Pterodactyl Ptommy, who at a particularly trying moment, must ask another character to “p-teach me to un-p-tie the p-tails of p-two cats.” JULY 7 9 10 |

BRIAR ROSE ~ THE TALE OF SLEEPING BEAUTY By Stephen Hotchner Directed By: Sarah Eidemiller |
This clever and charming adaptation of the classic fairy tale is a wild romp. Despite warnings from her hysterical mother, Briar Rose touches the thorns on the roses given her by the devious 13th fairy. She and the rest of the castle fall asleep for 100 years under the fairy’s curse. Enter a shy prince with his two-headed troll bodyguard who urge him to kiss the princess. Unfortunately this prince has serious problems with kissing!

PINOCCHIO
A Commedia Presentation By Lane Riosley Directed By: Meghan Ginley | The Pinocchio story told here by our commedia players, Columbine, Arlequin, Punchin, Rosetta and Pantalone, follows the events of the original Collodi tale. With the unique spirit and fun of commedia dell’arte, Pinocchio springs to life from a block of wood and gets swallowed by a great fish—a beautiful prop that Pantalone frets will get dirty!
