This Year's Past performances
See below for our list of past shows in the 2019-2020 school year.
Neil Simon’s classic comedy brings us newlyweds Corie and Paul who have just moved into a tiny, 5th-floor walkup in Manhattan where they must contend with the apartment’s lack of heat, a skylight that leaks snow, many stairs, their oddball neighbor Victor Velasco, and Corie’s well-meaning mother. Will the newlyweds be able to reconcile their own personal differences in how they approach life’s challenges? Or will their marriage fall apart? Adjusting to married life is no walk in the park — or is it?

The Shape of the Grave
by Laura Lundgren Smith
The troubles raging through Northern Ireland cost sixteen-year-old Colleen half her family, and she sees only one way to give her loss meaning: join the bloody fight for Irish independence from Britain. It seems so simple, but the IRA's reception isn't what Colleen expects and her older sister Brigid will do anything to stop her from making the same mistake as their father. How far will she go to make her path clear again? How far will Ireland go? And Britain? And what more will it cost? (from Playscripts)
