Actors may also lead optional pre- and post-show workshops.

Please note, consumption of alcohol during performances is not required to be considered for casting in the show.

    • Puppet Show (Touring): A 30-minute telling of The Comedy of Errors using puppets! Fun and zany, this show will be geared towards younger audiences (5th grade and below). Experience in puppetry encouraged but not required. Performances of this show will occur during the Spring of 2027.
