The Story: Both the bottom line and the willing and able bodies in the Piney Grove Baptist Church are dwindling. So Pastor Jones, the church's young enthusiastic preacher, decides it is time for a major revival. He has enticed a relative and former congregant, Pauletta Jones, who is now an opera diva, to return, hoping she'll improve the church choir. But her holier-than-thou, "I've been to Yale" attitude doesn't sit well with the regulars.
Of course, it's the congregation itself that is the source of the greatest comedy, including Thelma, the tippling pianist; Bobby, the dim-witted fellow with a mind of his own; Brother Deacon, the pastor's competitor and guardian of conservative values; Clara, the fence-sitter; and the younger, hipper "kids," Jamal and Monique, who have their own ideas about bringing the Piney Grove Choir in to the musical 21st century! It's Sarah, the granny of the group, who is the true pillar of wisdom and reminds everyone that it's the spirit, not the business, that matters most.

To finally produce for our first time one of the most popular Broadway Musicals of all time!

The Story: Based on Sholem Aliechem's Tevye and his Daughters, we are introduced to all of the denizens of Anatevka, a Jewish enclave in turn-of-the-century Russia and to the many "traditions" of Jewish life at the time. Tevye the milkman and his shrewish wife Golde have a family of five daughters - and no sons. Unable to afford the dowries necessary to allow his girls to marry wealthy men, Tevye's attempt to cling to traditional ways is steadily undermined by the sweeping changes that have begun to erode Russian society and rural Jewish customs as well.
Through a series of hilarious, sometimes poignant, often touching scenes and songs, he learns that he must surrender to his love for his daughters over his adherence to traditional authority and grant them their desires to marry the men they love. The whimsical "If I Were A Rich Man;" the moving and emotional "Sunrise, Sunset;" and the hauntingly beautiful "Far From the Home I Love" are just a few of the songs from this stunning musical score

To feature one of the most thought-provoking and award-winning contemporary dramas in recent years!

The Story: 1964, St. Nicholas Catholic School, the Bronx: Father Flynn is doing his best to change the school's notoriously strict disciplinary practices. Unfortunately, his progressive ideas stand in stark contrast to the methods of Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-willed principal, who believes that oppression, punishment, and fear are the best disciplinary tools. Suddenly into this tempestuous environment appears young Donald Miller, St. Nicholas' first black student.
When a young novice reluctantly reveals to Sister Beauvier that Father Flynn and the boy have been spending an unusual amount of time together in the church rectory, the self-righteous headmistress accuses Flynn of molesting the child, even though she hasn't a shred of proof. Now, as Sister Beauvier and Father Flynn enter into an epic battle of wills, the shock waves set into motion by their explosive confrontation threaten to destroy one man's reputation and tear apart the entire surrounding community.
