Arms and the Man
By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Becky Potter

Production Dates: March 6-22, 2026 

During the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian War, young Raina Petkoff is surprised when a Swiss mercenary, fleeing from enemy cavalry, climbs up the drainpipe to hide in her room. Cynical and pragmatic about war, the soldier begins to sow doubt in Raina’s romanticized views. In this anti-romantic comedy, George Bernard Shaw explores the hypocrisies of life, love, and war.

You Can't Take it With You
By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
Directed by Annie Potter

Production Dates: July 10-26, 2026 
​
In this Pulitzer Prize winning comedy, the family of Martin Vanderhof lives “just around the corner from Columbia University — but don’t go looking for it.” Grandpa, as Martin is more commonly known, is the paterfamilias of a large and extended family of charming eccentrics. His granddaughter, Alice, is an attractive and loving girl who is still embarrassed by her family’s idiosyncrasies. When Alice falls for her boss, Tony, a handsome scion of Wall Street, she fears that their two families – so unlike in manner, politics, and finances – will never come together. But why be obsessed by money? After all, you can’t take it with you...
