SYNOPSIS: A long-running commercial success on the West End and Broadway comes to Geva! The intrepid thespians of the Cornley Drama Society are more or less ready to raise the curtain on the grandest production the village has ever seen, The Murder at Haversham Manor — until things go from bad to calamitous. There’s an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that won’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines) — and that’s only the first act. It’s nothing you want in a show — and everything you want in a comedy!
TREVOR - any ethnicity, 25-35, the play’s lighting and sound operator; he simply wants to get on with the show, curmudgeonly and doesn’t care for actors, easily distracted and does many things he shouldn’t, including engaging with the audience; when things go really sideways, he is forced to act in the play, and he hates acting.
SANDRA - any ethnicity, 25-35, vain with a huge ego; wants to be loved, has ambitions to go to Hollywood and will hurt anyone standing in her way; smart enough to stay on the good side of someone who can help her (like the director), her stakes are very high.
ANNIE - any ethnicity, 25-35, the stage manager, cannot bear to be on stage, but must step in to one of the roles; initially terrified by acting, she grows to love it and by the end is willing to kill for it; the biggest journey of any of the characters; starts small but grows and grows.
JONATHAN - any ethnicity, 25-35, a bit bland, but sees himself as a James Bond type; excited and having fun, but not naïve; cares about the play, but not to the same extent as the others; drives the show; very physical role.
ROBERT - any ethnicity, 25-35, wannabe Richard Burton, declamatory style, an actor with real vocal power; unaware of others around him, does not feel badly when things go wrong and never learns from his mistakes; desperate to become president of the Cornley Poly Drama Society.
MAX - any ethnicity, 25-35, has never been on stage before; knows his lines and does exactly what he’s told, no more, no less; has zero connection with any of the other actors, but when he gets a laugh he breaks the 4th wall and engages with the audience; childlike and naive; his mistakes are fundamental, doesn't think anything through, just looks for approval.
CHRIS - any ethnicity, 25-35, the director of the show and this is the biggest day of his life; rigid, uptight, self-important; his pain is evident, and every time someone laughs the pain deepens; equal amounts of contempt for his fellow actors and the audience; high status clown.
DENNIS - any ethnicity, 25-35, no interest in theatre; he just wants to make friends (of which he has none); slightly oblivious, but understands when he gets things wrong; laughter from the audience is a personal tragedy and failure for him.

Christin Eve Cato’s Sancocho explores family secrets, generational divides, and the healing that can only come from a meal made with love.

SYNOPSIS: The second longest-running play in the history of the West End, The Woman in Black is a chilling drama, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the 1983 novel by Susan Hill. Mallatratt conjured a complete world into which generations of young people have entered, surrendering to the ultimate magic of theatre: their own imaginations. A dark and scary mystery unfolds as an old man recounts the events of his youth when he went to the fog-embanked countryside of England to settle the estate of a family shrouded in a tragedy that continues to haunt (literally!) anyone who comes too close.

SYNOPSIS: This Tony Award-nominated musical, inspired by the beloved films, takes us on a journey to the past. Iconic songs like Once Upon a December, Learn to Do It, and Journey to the Past transport us from the darkness of Soviet Russia to the opulence of Paris in the ‘20s, as Anya and new friends Dmitry, a handsome conman, and Vlad, a bumbling ex-aristocrat, hatch a plan to pass her off as Grand Duchess Anastasia to her grandmother, the Dowager Empress. But could it be that Anya really is the long-lost Romanov?
ANYA - When we first meet Anya, she is a lost soul, but one with great strength, pride, determination, and dignity. As the story progresses, she begins to discover her sense of self and the possibility that she may be the missing daughter of Tsar Nicholas II.
DMITRY & ENSEMBLE / AS CAST - The prince of St. Petersburg’s black market, Dmitry is an opportunist trying to make it on the streets of Russia by selling stolen objects from the Tsarist past. He creates the scheme to find an Anastasia impersonator in order to gain the reward for her safe return. He’s tough, persuasive, and daring.
VLAD POPOV & ENSEMBLE / AS CAST - Before the revolution, Vlad was a minor functionary at the imperial court. He’s Dmitry’s right-hand man, and because of his romantic relationship with Countess Lily, he arranges a meeting between Anya and the Dowager Empress.
GLEB VAGANOV & ENSEMBLE / AS CAST - Gleb is a patriot of the Russian revolution. As a career officer in the Bolshevik secret police, he is a passionate defender of the hard-won gains of the new order. His attraction to Anya puts him in violent conflict with himself.
COUNTESS LILY MALEVSKY & ENSEMBLE / AS CAST - The confidante and lady-in-waiting to the Dowager Empress. She’s compassionate, respectful, and good at her job, but also delightful and worldly when she’s not with the Dowager.
DOWAGER EMPRESS MARIA FEODOROVNA & ENSEMBLE / AS CAST - She is the formidable and imperious grandmother of Anastasia. Anastasia is her favorite grandchild, and she loves her with all her heart. She never gives up the belief that her granddaughter might be alive but finally, after years of enduring impersonators, she becomes bitter and hardened.
