Spilt Tea: A Late Night speakeasy Show

June 26/27, July 3. 10pm ( After select nights of Mary Jane The Musical 2)
Formerly called Fowl Play: A Loosey Goosey Late Night Show, formerly called A Banana on the Bus Situation and probably should have been called, A Night at the Falcon’s Teat, is a who-dunnit mystery told by idiots. Like Maltese Falcon performed by Muppets…Like Knives Out with clowns…Like Clue without dinner.

Welcome to a hilarious, raunchy, fast-paced night gone horribly wrong. The speakeasy features a fully functioning bar on stage, live band, and special guests.

Mary Jane The Musical 2: The Grandson

to Jul 5
Baduwa't, On Stage

Mary Jane The Musical 2: The Grandson

William English III will play Mary Janes grandson, Billy Jane "(BJ"). He has inherited in the land in Sohum where she started growing in the "back to the land" movement of the late 60's and where he was born. Given the current state of the cannabis economy, he can't afford to keep the land anymore. He feels he has to give it up. He throws a party to say goodbye to the land (and the life). The party is the play. The guests at the party are the characters from his life and the work of cannabis. There will be surprise arrivals, unseen conflicts, psychedelic flashbacks, unexpected odd dancing (Humboldt style), and lots of music/songs with new and past messes revealed. 15 original songs locally sourced.  It is a requiem for the land and the legacy with the question -  "Should I stay or should I go?" True "theatre of place".

Khan!! The Musical

A Parody Trek-tacular by River Sky Media. A gut-bustingly funny parody based on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Star Trek: The Next Generation with an entirely original score. It's fun for Trekkies, Broadway fans and "normies" alike, and you don't have to know anything about Star Trek to enjoy it!
