OUR 26/27 PRODUCTIONS

Fall 2026 Productions

Meeting Notes

By Rory O’Neill (’24)
Directed by Devon Whitney (’23)

Performances October 21-25, 2026

Production Synopsis:
The following are meeting notes from April 10th. Does anyone want to follow up on any action items from last week? Does anyone have any news to share? We noticed some buzzing boxes in the trees – It might be serious. But it’s probably nothing.

Every week at sundown, Judy (a hen), Georgie (a show pig), Bill (a wren), Croquette (also a wren), Cooper (a beagle), and Rose (a dairy cow), meet to discuss their concerns, their observations, and the logistics of their lives on the Johnson Family Farm. When the wrens notice that electric fly zappers have gone up in the trees, the animals must decide how seriously to take the changes around here.

FUN HOME

Music by Jeanine Tesori
Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron
Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel
Directed by Jonathan Carr

Performances: November 18-22, 2026

Production Synopsis: 
Life in the Bechdel Funeral Home was confusing, full of cadavers and lovingly-restored antiques, barely hidden affairs and childish games, explosive tempers and unyielding expectations. Fun Home tells the story of Alison Bechdel’s complex relationship with her closeted father, and the damage his obsessions and unfulfilled desires wreaked at home. She unpacks her own growth as a lesbian cartoonist alongside her quest to understand his sudden death. Come to the Fun Home, award-winning musical adaptation of Bechdel’s groundbreaking graphic memoir that explores the ongoing mystery of the past and the present, and the puzzle of our evolving identities.

Spring 2027 Productions

The Grown-Ups

By Simon Henriques and Skylar Fox
Directed by Melinda Lopez

Performances: February 24-28, 2027

Production Synopsis:
The kids are asleep and the lake is quiet. Have a beer; make a s’more; tell a scary story. Figure out what you’re going to do tomorrow and keep Camp fun and sage without letting the kids find out about…well, you’ve seen the news. I just got a push notification – they’re getting closer.

The Grown Ups follows a group of camp counselors trying to mold the young adults of tomorrow. But tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker. How do you lead when you’re hopelessly, tragically not prepared for any of this? How fast can you grow up?

This coming of age/ghost story/survival epic features a cast of 5. All characters are between ages 18-22. These are all great fun roles! Open to students of any gender identity and ethnicity.

THE GROWN-UPS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Dance Nation

By Clare Barron
Directed by Samantha Richert Boehm

Dance nation – Somewhere in America, a group of pre-teen competitive dancers plot world domination one routine at a time. Can they claw their way to the top at Nationals in Tampa Bay? As they vie for the coveted lead role of Gandhi, they push their bodies and dreams to the limit, grappling with identity, jealousy, and the realization that their own limitations in a world where it’s hard to get to the top, but it’s even harder to stay at the top.

A play about ambition, the messy realities of puberty, and the terrifying threshold of adolescence through feral contradictions of girlhood. Dance Nation is a blur of reality and fantasy; dream and nightmare, it could make you or break you and everyone’s replaceable.

DANCE NATION is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals: www.concordtheatricals.com
