Wave 1 performances run July 22-30, with shows on Fridays at 7:00pm and Saturdays at 3:00pm and 7:00pm.

Directors are Lauren Annicelli, Jessica Chace (Artistic Director), Tom Chace (Music Director), and David Kane, who act alongside 17 community youth and adult actors.

Live music with Tom Chace on piano and Raffi Donoian on guitar will be featured during the plays. Staged in the nearly-round, audience members will be up close and personal for every moment.

The plays explore life, death, and what we do for people (and pets) whom we love. There’s something for everyone in this versatile line-up: quirky and dark comedies, suspense, drama, and more. *(PG-13)
