"The time is out of joint….”

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Lindsay Smiling

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.
Recommended Age: 13+

Experience the magic of Styx like never before with Return to Paradise, a tribute show that flawlessly recreates the band's greatest hits spanning four decades.

Frontman Anthony Paul delivers powerhouse vocals reminiscent of both Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw, while keyboardist Robert Epstein dazzles with stacks of synthesizers that bring DeYoung’s signature sound to life. With guitarists Ron Torina and James Erickson delivering electrifying riffs, and a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Joe Mendozza and drummer Sean Minardi, Return to Paradise captures every iconic element—from soaring harmonies to flashy keyboards—bringing classics like “Come Sail Away,” “Lady,” “Renegade,” “Babe,” “Mr. Roboto” and “Rockin’ The Paradise” roaring back to the stage!

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.

Pinky's Brains consists of Justin Scalia, ,Nick McGrew, and Allison Saunders
In 2016 after a few disbanded projects Justin was on the search for like minded musicians. He met Rt at work, after talking one day Rt invited Justin over for a jam session. Everyone was clicking at the first jam.
