Show:
In this brilliant and powerful drama, the formidable Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, runs her church middle school with an iron fist and impervious moral rectitude.  She takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young and charismatic Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students.  Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely.  Their battle for truth and personal integrity will leave you with questions to ponder long after the curtain goes down.  Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize® for Drama and Tony Award® for Best Play.

Auditions for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Directed by Dan Seaman

Everyone agreed that the six Herdman kids were the worst kids in the world. They lied, they stole, they hit little kids, they talked dirty, and even the girls smoked cigars. Sunday school was a safe haven for the other children because the Herdmans never went there. But when the Herdmans show up one Sunday looking for chocolate cake, they hear about the Christmas pageant and decide to take part. To the dismay of everyone involved, the Herdmans land the main parts in the play. Although everyone expects a disaster, the Herdmans bring a fresh interpretation to the Christmas story.

Tuesday, November 6, 6pm - 8pm
