  • "This House is Legacy" by Sophie Goldstein
  • "Happy Merry" by Michael P. Adams
  • "October Surprise" by Robert Weibezahl
  • "Extended Family" by Leslie Vitanza AnnRenee

Performance Dates:

General Admission: $25

Doors open 30 minutes before the show.

This competition was made possible thanks to the generous support of Lynda Fairly, Fran, & Charlie Freund.
