We’re coming in hot with not one, but two original musicals for our 2025 season. From a frontier journey gone horribly wrong to a holiday show that’s anything but traditional, we’re serving up our boldest, weirdest, and most kick-ass season yet.
Check out what we’ve got in store:
Dysentery! The Musical

Buckle up—this one’s a real shit show.
