In this inventive and heart-warming story, we watch two next-door neighbors grow up, fall in love, and grapple with the hard truths of life alongside their friends and family. Our Town presents both the beauty and the dangers of a small community, and boldly asks us to consider what - and who - will matter most to us at the end of the day. Come watch our community of students bring this town - and Wilder’s visionary theatrical style - to life! Our Town runs approximately two hours and twenty minutes, including two brief intermissions. It is recommended for middle-school age and above due to some mature themes, especially in the final act. Please contact sthermond@palytheatre.com if you have any questions about this recommendation!

As Hamlet pursues revenge, he must balance his inner turmoil and grief with the desire to fight for his kingdom and complete this quest, all the while dealing with courtiers who are similarly concealing their true selves, and citizens who are losing patience with the gap between the royal family’s promises and the dangerous reality they all find themselves in. This production walks the line between external reality and the surreal mentality of its characters, presenting some of Shakespeare’s most famous lines and characters with a fresh and engaging perspective. Opening night, a pre-show reception with light refreshments and a chance to chat with members of the cast and crew, complimentary with your ticket! WARNING: flashing lights will be briefly used in the production. Expected run time is 2 hours and 20 min, including a 15 min intermission. This production has a suggested PG rating due to violence/brief bloodshed. Please contact sthermond@palytheatre.com if you have any questions!

What they find instead is an opportunity for the ultimate get-rich-quick scheme that can turn the birds’ skies into a powerful utopia! All they have to do is overcome one small problem: the wrath of the Greek gods. Don Zolidis hilariously updates Aristophanes’s ancient comedy, showing that its satirical take on society, politics, and religion is just as relevant today as it was over a millennium ago! Recommended for ages 6 and up for crude humour and mild innuendo.

Pridamant of Avignon, a proud and successful lawyer, has had no word of her son since he ran away from home more than a decade ago. Desperate to find him, she turns to the magician Alcandre, who presents three visions of the son’s life. That life, however, is more daring and dangerous than Pridamant expected, and as the story unfolds, she realizes that this attempt to reconnect might cost more than she ever expected.
