A gentle and inspiring story about family, friendship, and finding where you belong. When Sarah travels from her home by the sea to the wide, open prairies, Anna and Caleb wonder — will she stay and become part of their family? With warmth, hope, and a little adventure, this charming play brings Patricia MacLachlan’s beloved book to life on stage. Perfect for young audiences, Sarah, Plain and Tall is a beautiful reminder that love and bravery can make even the biggest places feel like home.

A group of well-meaning (but hilariously misguided) theater artists scramble to create a politically correct Thanksgiving pageant – without any Native Americans. In a brilliant send-up, this fast-paced play skewers performative activism, cultural cluelessness, and the pitfalls of “good intentions” with wit and bite. Smart, edgy, and uproariously funny, The Thanksgiving Play is a feast of laughs and a clever commentary on who gets to tell whose story. A sharp, satirical comedy that leaves you laughing— and thinking!
