THE 2026-2027 MAINSTAGE SEASON
A raunchy, high-energy stage adaptation of the cult classic horror film franchise. Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash, a housewares employee and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Pure comedy from start to finish, Evil Dead has been compared to The Rocky Horror Show, having fun with horror and appealing to a wide audience. It's the show with the famous "Splatter Zone"!
It's summertime on the rez. Lenna, the youngest of the Little family, is preparing to leave home for her first year of college, with little enthusiasm or help from her stubborn father and reckless brother. Amidst lingering doubts about departing the family flock, Lenna collides into a meet-cute with the charming and awkward Sam Thomas, who is returning to the reserve after many years away. With the promise of a romance budding between them, Lenna is caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty, wondering if she's ready to bid farewell just as she's about to take flight. A true romantic comedy, Niizh is a refreshing coming-of-age romcom about two young lovebirds leaving the nest.
This festive two-person comedy puts a playful spin on Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, blending holiday magic, quick wit and a little Monty Python-style mischief.
Perfect for audiences of all ages, A Christmas Carol Comedy is a joyful and wonderfully irreverent way to celebrate the season. With plenty of laughs, holiday spirit and unexpected twists, this fresh take on a timeless Christmas story is sure to delight the whole family.

A comedy in the spirit of Boeing Boeing and Perfect Wedding, this side-splitting play within a play has been called "the funniest farce ever written". Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a farce called Nothing On. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in this hilarious, high-energy comedy. Breakneck speed, precision slapstick and un unbelievable set will blow audiences away.
