Betty the Yeti
by Jon Klein
October 4-13, 2013
Directed by Jerrold Scott
A long-standing battle between consumers and defenders rages on in an old-growth Oregon forest. Add meddling by the U.S. Forest Service, and the presence of a long-forgotten native denizen, and you have the comic mix of this “eco-fable” by Jon Klein.
Black Comedy
by Sir Peter Shaffer
November 15-24, 2013
Directed by Ron Wilson
This wild British farce follows the antics of a “borrowing” gone bad. After helping himself to an absent neighbor’s treasures in order to impress his fiancée and her family, a sculptor desperately tries to return them before circumstances take a turn back to the light.
The Bald Soprano
by Eugene Ionesco
February 14-23, 2014
Directed by Christopher Bohan
Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano pits Mr. and Mrs. Smith against their mundane lives. When the Martins arrive for a visit, an epic absurdist battle ensues as the typical dinner party turns into a tirade of non-sequiturs and miscommunication.
Measure for Measure
by William Shakespeare
April 11-20, 2014
Directed by Jerrold Scott
Written in the early 1600s, with the upheaval of a new ruler on the throne, Measure is considered one of the Bard’s ‘problem plays.’ It defies simple classification, as the play explores whether ideas such as right or wrong, and good or bad, are really that easy to distinguish from one another.

The Crucible
by Arthur Miller
April 12-21, 2013
Directed by Donald Carrier
This powerful play is one of the greatest dramas in the American theater. Arthur Miller’s allegorical tale of the dangers of McCarthyism is set against the backdrop of the Salem witch trials, and forces us to ask how far we’ll go as a society in attempting to feel safe.
