When Billy the goat, Slim the pig, and Nell the cat overhear the Farmer and his Wife plotting to get rid of Donny the donkey, they rush to warn their friend. Dreamer that he is, Donny decides to escape and pursue his dream of becoming a famous musician in Brementown. Along the way, he’s joined by Minnie, a retired show dog, and later Nell, both eager to find a new future. As the mismatched group tries to make music together, their noisy efforts may not be music to the ears—but their journey is full of heart, humor, and second chances.

Directed by Lisa Gaye Dixon

November 15-16, 18-22 at 7:30 PM | November 22 at 2:30 PM | Recital Hall / AR 217

Goodnight, Tyler is a poignant and unexpectedly humorous ghost story about memory, grief, and the fight for control over a legacy. After Tyler Evans, a young Black man, is killed by a police officer, his ghost lingers—desperate to be remembered for his life, not just his death. As his best friend, fiancée, grandmother, and others grapple with their own versions of Tyler, tensions rise over who gets to define his story. This moving contemporary drama explores love, loss, and the personal and political weight of remembrance.

Winston Churchill is back! His purpose: To warn humanity not of a Nazi threat, not of Soviet Iron Curtain Communism, but rather - that a Digital Iron Curtain has fallen across all of humanity and that action this day is necessary to Defend Liberty and Freedom.

Winston Churchill, along with Michael Duncan’s brilliant narration, Eric Anderson’s stirring musical renderings and Kevin Pehler’s stunning audio-visual magic leads us through history, painting the portrait of humanity’s struggle between totalitarian conquest and control and individual liberty and freedom. This stirring, inspirational “Theatrical Keynote” brings Winston Churchill’s keen, incisive message of hope to the 21st Century. The audience will have the opportunity to interact directly with Prime Minister Churchill during Ask Winston, a fun, lively Q&A.

World-class artists and musicians brought together in the Coffee and Cabernet Series. Experience these internationally renowned artists in the intimate setting of Pruis Hall and enjoy a selection of wine, craft beer or coffee while attending the performance.

It's the day of The Big Game, and the citizenry is aflutter. The football bros are hungry for blood, the ESL kids are hungry for knowledge, and the hunger strikers are just hungry. Meanwhile, Nubu, a newcomer to our world, considers the meaning of life. When the The Big Game gets cancelled, a group of intrepid weirdos decides to throw an epic DIY costume party—a ball! Balls Balls Balls is a strange and exuberant new work that asks, “Can you imagine a world where we all make bread and break bread together?”
