Many moons about in a far-office place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son Price Dauntless, found a bride Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen That is until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous; romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea, provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
March 11 – April 4, 2027
Book by Jeffrey Lane
Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek
Based on the film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, written by Dale Launer and Stanley Shapiro & Paul Henning
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity.
Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together, only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress, Christine Colgate, wins, and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!
