If you've even been lost in the woods with two adults, five Boy Scouts, an infinite amount of coyotes and three bags of marshmallows, Troop 54 might hit too close to home. A comedy about finding your way through the woods, Troop 54 has laughs, heart, farts, ONE SONG, and enough middle school angst to keep a therapist in business for the rest of their life. Will they find their way back to base camp or will they fall into a cavern? I forgot to mention there's a cavern. Once described as "what did I just watch?" Troop 54 is an ab workout and a theatrical experience not to be missed!

In the wake of his father’s death, Daniel has put the family farm up for sale, hoping to start fresh somewhere else. It looks like an easy sell, until a series of thunderstorms passing through town leave his land bone dry.

From BMI lyricist and writer Dustin Sullivan, Parched is an exploration of loss, the variable effects of grief and weather, a search for purpose and the perfect pie. A recent O'Neill semifinalist, Parched examines just how much the earth can change when we try to leave our pain behind.
