Synopsis: 

In a post-apocalyptic city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20 year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! THIS IS URINETOWN! Third Place Productions presents a new take on this hilariously funny and touchingly honest satire musical of a future that very well could be our own if we’re not careful!

Our popular Gothic anthology series returns with American Gothic: The Harvest Ritual

In this interactive and immersive horror/comedy show, we invite you to come on in and sit a spell, 'cause you're one of our kinfolk in a tiny Southern town in the middle of the Great Depression. And this town-your town-has known too much hardship: Famine, drought, sickness... no crops are growing and people are dying. Seems there's nothin' do be done. But even as the dust blows through the streets, this community will always protect their own, and the Reverend has promised to guide you toward deliverance. Tonight he needs you to join him on a spiritual quest, share in sacraments, assist hapless neighbors, and investigate a town history that must be uncovered and understood if salvation is to be found. But remember, we don't take kindly to outsiders who threaten our way of life around here... and one just walked in. What are you willing to do survive? What cost will you pay? After all, to protect our own, sacrifices gotta be made. Time to search your soul.

COME JOIN THE HOOTENANY! Or hoedown! Or... whatever you wanna call it but we are bustin' out all over America!

Award-winning songwriters Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen's Fugitive Songs is a 19-song journey across America, featuring a multi-ethnic ensemble (3 men, 3 women) between the ages of 20 and 40. This innovative song cycle, conceived as half-musical/half-hootenanny, spotlights people on the run: a disgruntled Subway sandwich employee, a jilted ex-cheerleader, a pair of Patty Hearst fanatics, a stoner forced to rob a convenience store against his will, and many others.

Blending traditional folk music with contemporary pop and gospel, Fugitive Songs offers a new sound for a restless America. This eclectic score provides exceptional material for a wide range of experienced singers, and delivers poignant and thought-provoking lyrics that capture each character's "reasons to run." 

This show is recommended for audience ages 14+.
