SHAW VS. CHESTERTON: THE DEBATE
Sept 5 - Oct 28
 Based on actual debates and exchanges, George Bernard Shaw and G.K. Chesterton - two of the greatest literary minds of the 20th century - square off in what proves to be one of the most electric, humorous and relevant war of words in modern history. How do you remain good friends with someone when you disagree on just about everything? Let these two "debaters of the century" show you. Witness actual exchanges between these great intellectual heavyweights as they battle it out over multiple topics that sound remarkably relevant today. The play also explores the complexities and deep admiration these "friendly enemies" had for each other that solidified their relationship for decades.

Jonathan Toomey, known to the village as "Mr. Gloomy" takes the job - but refuses to promise anything by Christmas.

FISH EYES
Feb 8 - March 31
 A routine morning in a small fishing town. Two brothers. Fishermen who had a poor catch last night. They have no idea that they're about to encounter a man who will change their lives forever. This stranger is different, simple, wise, vulnerable but strong. They soon learn more about him and in the process, themselves. Full of surprises, questions, confusion, pain, joy, and miracles. The story of Jesus and the disciples has fascinated us for two thousand years. Fish-Eyes is another look at how this God-man affected the world through two very human sets of eyes- Peter and Andrew. It's humorous, identifiable, simple... and sure to move you.
