Fireflies
August 12, 2026
Groverdell, Texas, 1995. A retired and single schoolteacher, Eleanor, instructed nearly everyone in her small town and believes she has nothing left to learn. “It’s the middle of July,” Eleanor’s neighbor laments, “There is no fresh air.” That is, until the arrival of a stranger named Abel, who is scouting the properties of single women and offering his services as a handyman. Is Abel a con artist, or a new start? Eleanor is suspicious, even as she longs to break out of routine. Fireflies is a “funny and heartwarming” (ShowRiz) play from the adapter of Enchanted April.

A unique addition to Gunderson and Melcon’s Pride and Prejudice sequels, Wickhams centers the staff and includes some of the family they serve in a celebration of “the holiday [that] seems to make everyone just a little bit more so than they already are.” With the unwelcome return of Mr. Wickham, both downstairs and upstairs are catalyzed to reflect on the future they want. This lively installment is full of the popular series’ romance, wit, growth, and joy. “A delicious bonbon of a play.” —Chicago Sun-Times

What if C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud met? What would they talk about? Mark St. Germain’s play imagines a conversation between these titans of theology and psychology on the day England enters WWII. The debate is friendly but the stakes are high as Freud and Lewis assert their truths and attempt to understand the other, “with both humor and insight in abundance.” – NY1 TV

A Sleep of Prisoners
A Sleep of Prisoners
By Christopher Fry
March 7 – March 23, 2025
“Where, in the maze of right and wrong, are we to do what action?” Four prisoners of war are locked in a church in enemy territory. Deprived of food, water, rest and distractions, each man is drawn deeper into his own struggles and those of his cellmates. Reality dissolves into a dream where the men play figures from the Bible in a story of obedience, rebellion, violence and peace. “One of the most interesting examples of contemporary religious drama.” — Journal of the English Association
