Night of the Iguana by Tennessee Williams, directed by Mark A. Neels
October 17 – 27, 2024
Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon is a minister recently fallen from grace and expelled from his congregation for a "nervous breakdown," who travels to 1940s Mexico to work as a travel guide. Among his group of tourists, however, is a 16-year-old girl, Charlotte Goodall, with whom Shannon has recently been accused of an inappropriate relationship. Meanwhile, his friend and motel owner Maxine Faulk sees in Shannon an escape for her loneliness following the death of her husband, Fred. The situation is only complicated further by the arrival of Hannah Jelks, a spinster from Nantucket, and her father, Nonno, a renowned poet in failing health who is attempting to compose what will be his final work. As Shannon and Jelks develop a deep bond, Maxine's jealousies get the best of her.

Who Killed Aunt Caroline? by Grant Richards, directed by Ken Clark
March 6 – 16, 2025
While the Endicott family struggle to make ends meet after the death of their beloved husband and father, they learn that their wealthy, spinster Aunt Caroline plans to cheat them out of their inheritance. It is soon revealed that a member of the family has committed murder and Detective Clayton has never investigated such an unusual group of suspects! Even the family members themselves suspect each other as the plot thickens and the audience is kept guessing until the very end. The play is good family entertainment with plenty of laughs and a good dose of mystery.
