HOOP DREAMS & FROG SCHEMES!

Forget the fairy tale you know! This fresh spin on the classic tale follows a basketball-loving princess who’d rather shoot hoops than wait around for Prince Charming. Caught between slam dunks, slam jams (yep, there’s music!), and six royal sisters’ matchmaking missions, our heroine’s world turns upside down when her game ball takes an unexpected plunge into a mysterious well.

Enter an unexpected hero: a talking frog who’s a prince under a magical spell. As friendship sparks between the princess and her amphibian ally, the dynamic duo dishes out assists, keeps it real with family, and learns that being true to yourself is the greatest win of all. With music, magic, and major attitude, the princess and the frog prince prove that sometimes your perfect match is the teammate you least expect—and that happily ever after looks different for everyone.

Based on the Grimms’ fairy tale, but with way more bounce!

Kids can get a front row seat to the action with onstage carpet seating.
PLUS: meet the characters after every show for autographs and photos.

Grief twists the mind and conjures ghosts—but when the spirit of Hamlet’s father appears, he speaks not of madness, but of murder. In the shadowed halls of Elsinore, Hamlet grapples with a haunting revelation: his mother has married his uncle, and his father’s death was no accident. As he pulls at the tangled threads of his broken family, a web of deceit and betrayal unravels, leading him into a storm of moral conflict. What follows is a relentless struggle between revenge and redemption, as Hamlet’s pursuit of truth threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.

Shakespeare’s masterpiece delves into the depths of human thought, revealing the darkness that lies beneath loyalty, love, and justice. Experience the pulse-pounding tension and psychological intrigue that have made this play endure for centuries.

Hamlet will play in repertory with Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.

Running Time: Approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission.
Content Advisory: Contains staged violence and mature themes.

Sam Morrow, five albums deep into an acclaimed career, has carved out a sound that's uniquely his—a fusion of roadhouse rock, bluesy R&B, and country-fried funky-tonk driven by groove, grease, and guitars. His music is shaped by the road, touring behind albums like Concrete & Mud and Gettin' By On Gettin' Down, reflecting life in transit.

"I feel like I'm searching for something," he says. His latest album, On The Ride Here, captures that restless energy. But Morrow isn't just focused on the journey—he’s contemplating the lessons learned along the way.

Born in Houston, Morrow embraced punk, hip-hop, and ZZ Top before struggling with addiction in his teens. Sobriety led him to Los Angeles, where distance from his Texas roots made him appreciate country music. His sound, influenced by Little Feat, Freddie King, Los Lobos, and Queens of the Stone Age, blends seemingly disparate styles into a cohesive, rootsy rock & roll.

Praised by NPR and Rolling Stone, Morrow’s earlier albums established him as a standout Americana artist—thanks not only to his swampy swagger but also to his honest songwriting. On The Ride Here continues that journey. The album was produced by longtime collaborator Eric Corne and features an all-star West Coast lineup, with Morrow crafting his tightest record yet. It completes a musical trilogy, bridging the country tones of Concrete & Mud and the rock energy of Gettin' By On Gettin' Down.

Deko Entertainment recording artist Jeremy Edge formerly toured as the guitarist for Candlelight Red, a band that played 200 shows per year and landed multiple singles in the Active Rock Radio charts. Now leading his own band as a vocalist and guitarist, he has released Saints and Souls Vol 1 & 2 and is working on a fourth album while continuing to blend blues, Southern rock, soul, and classic rock influences. Over the past four years, Edge has amassed hundreds of thousands of streams, opened for Lita Ford, Gary Hoey, Texas Hippie Coalition, and Pat Travers, and collaborated with artists such as Redlight King, Josh Smith (Joe Bonamassa band), Derek Sherinian (Black Country Communion, Sons of Apollo), Brandon Yeagley (Crobot), and Brett Hestla (Dark New Day, Creed).
