The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
Written by John Bishop
Directed by Diana Marshall-Shoaf
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop -- in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher" – re-assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at a Westchester estate. But soon the infamous “Slasher” strikes again… and again… and again. A blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight, and accusing fingers point in all directions. With no help from the bumbling police inspector who snowshoes in to investigate, the team must solve the mystery on their own and unmask the “Slasher” themselves.

Doubt, A Parable
Written by John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Pam Barrans
“What do you do when you’re not sure?” asks the progressive and beloved priest at St. Nicholas Church School in his sermon. But when it is reported that one of the boys returned to class with wine on his breath, the rigid school principal suspects the priest of inappropriate relations with the student. The priest maintains that he is innocent, but what is the truth of the matter? "Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.”
