The 39 Steps

Adapted by Patrick Barlow; From the novel by John Buchan; From the movie of Alfred Hitchcock; Licensed by ITV Global Entertainment Limited; And an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon

You've never seen Hitchcock like this before! This ingenious spoof of the classic spy thriller is acted out at a breakneck speed by a cast of four (playing over 150 weird and wacky characters). PG

The Ladies Man

By Charles Morey

Freely translated and adapted from ‘Tailleur Pour Dames' by Georges Feydeau

Combine the saucy naughtiness of French farce, several conniving maniacs, an explosive minefield of misunderstandings, and the most insane chase sequence you've ever seen! PG

This Day and Age

By Nagle Jackson

This sophisticated comedy centers on the radical assertion of a well-to-do widow: that life goes on! Marjorie, played by the incomparable Christy Brandt, is going to live life on her own terms, despite the expectations of her adult children. R

The Joy of Going Somewhere Definite

By Quincy Long

Three drunken loggers set forth into the snowy north woods one night to do a good deed for an even drunker stranger. Their wild, alcohol-fueled misadventure quickly spirals into an existential odyssey worthy of the Coen Brothers. R
Zeus on the Loose

Book and Lyrics by Jeff Carey; Music by Jessica Jackson

What do you get when you combine Greek mythology with 80s music? A totally awesome and wildly energetic musical for the whole family! G

Boomtown: Improv Comedy at CRT!

Armed with only an audience suggestion and their fertile (some might say twisted) imaginations, these hilarious, inventive, and often bizarre actors perform a totally unscripted show inspired by you! PG-13
