The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
By John Bishop
October 3-5 & 10-13, 2025
Dede Robertson Theatre
Laughs, disguises, and mystery await in this door-slamming farce! Step into the lavish home of a wealthy producer, where a spirited crew–composer, lyricist, actors, and director–has gathered to pitch their next Broadway sensation, but secret passages, masked figures, and a killer–the “Stage Door Slasher”–turn it into a deadly, and hilarious, game. This clever satire of Broadway’s Golden Age and classic whodunits delivers corny comedy, over-the-top characters, and thrilling twists in equal measure. As New York Magazine proclaims, it’s “the intelligent person’s kind of nonsense.” Don’t miss this uproarious blend of showbiz glitz and spine-tingling suspense!
The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)

Four spirited ladies in 1942 Texas face an unexpected challenge when a timid bride-to-be arrives in town, hoping to marry her soldier before he ships out for WWII. For 60-somethings Laura Lee, Bobrita, Violet, and Clendine, the answer is obvious: a race against time to pull together an elaborate wedding in a single frenzied afternoon! Will the four feisty friends overcome their Garden Club squabbles and succeed?
Wedding Belles is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
Henry V
By William Shakespeare
Adapted by Marianne Savell
February 13-15 & 20-22, 2026
Studio Theatre
Does God take sides in war? Henry V of England sure thinks so. After an insult from the French pretender to the throne, Henry invades France, praying to God for success. The game’s afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’ the great speech-giver tells his army. When an unexpected victory comes his way, Henry unites the two kingdoms, cementing his “divine right” to be king.
Hello Dolly!
by Michael Stewart & Jerry Herman
Based on the play The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder
April 17-19 & 24-26, 2026
Dede Robertson Theatre
In 1890s New York, a half-a-millionaire is quite the catch. Dolly Levi, professional matchmaker, meddler, and money-follower, secretly schemes to marry the rich Horace Vandergelder herself. She enlists his hapless employees in the plot, matching them up with two sophisticated milliners. Featuring the iconic song “Hello, Dolly!”, dancing waiters, and a boisterous parade, this popular hit musical has starred the likes of Carol Channing, Barbra Streisand, and Bette Midler on stage and in film.
Hello Dolly! is presented by arrangement with TAMS-WITMARK, a Concord Theatricals Company. www.concordtheatricals.com
