The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
    
by John Bishop

THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940 is not your typical murder mystery. Sure, the show starts off with a heinous murder by an unknown assailant. But then there are lots of hilarious jokes and funny one-liners. (And yes, there is a song.) Soon the guests arrive and you’ll discover this isn't your average party. All that and a sidekick who turns out to be a hero! This production is entertainment at its best. This show will keep you laughing and will make you smile all the way home.

MainStage prices are $23 for General, $20 for Jr (18 & under); Senior (60+) and Military (with ID / In uniform), Call for group pricing.

He decides to help Annie find her parents by offering a reward if they come to him and prove their identity. Miss Hannigan, her evil brother, Rooster, and a female accomplice plan to get the reward, which put Annie in great danger.

Nunsense
    
by Dan Goggin

Watch the hilarious Little Sisters of Hoboken display their divine talents in a zany benefit revue. In an effort to raise money for their fallen Sisters--unfortunate victims of a convent cooking accident--Mother Superior and her order of eccentric and endearing nuns show the lighter side of being Catholic. With riotous dance numbers, show-stopping songs and side-splitting wit, you'll swear the music and comedy of Nunsense was heaven-sent!
