December 6-14
In Love We Trust, a pop/rock concert
Directed by Debra Clinton
Musical Direction by Anthony Williams
Featuring Andrew Etheredge, Casey Dillon, Chris Hester, & Robyn O'Neill
“Tis the season for happy shows that make you smile, but what about a show with nary a Christmas Carol in sight? Conceptualized by Anthony Williams, this pop/rock concert, is not a traditional theatre piece with dialogue. Instead it features some of the best music spanning 40 years, where the lyrics of songs tell a beautiful and exciting story of love and life.
Ranging from some of the most recognizable artists of the 60’s to today, these are the songs that speak to love, our shared humanity, and trying to be the best we can be, at times when the world around us is making that so hard to do.
The holiday season is a time to celebrate by giving the light of love to those who need it most.
Join us as we share the light of love with YOU this season through song, for this limited engagement of only 5 performances,
Dec. 6, 7, 13, 14 @ 8 pm
Dec. 8 @ 2:00 pm
Tickets: $25 Adults, $20 Seniors

The Atheist
by Ronan Noone
Directed by Frank Foster
Featuring Chris Hester
“The absence of God is a philosophical underpinning of Ronan Noone's play The Atheist, but what really drives this riveting one-person show is a human being's God-like power to steer events in the world around him. Meet Augustine Early, a man on a mission to become famous, even if it kills him.” – Betsey Katz, Theatre Mania
In this Off-Broadway hit, we follow Augustine Early's journey from a Kansas trailer park to the top of the world, and back to the bottom, in a sensational story of ambition, humor, love (and lust), and twists of fate. Augustine, a crooked journalist, has made an art of clawing his way up the professional ladder. When he turns a politician’s tawdry predilections into front-page news, the scandal threatens to undo the one person he thought was immune. A searing, dark, satirical (and timely) play about catching the perfect front page headline, whatever the cost.
Part of the Acts of Faith Festival
“… accomplishes the Olympian task of making an utter bastard compelling” – Variety
“The most alluring, sleazy newshound this side of the 21st century” – The Boston Herald
"As journalists go, Augustine Early is an unrepentant reprobate....
By all rights, he should be the kind of guy you would hate to spend time with,
but in "The Atheist," Ronan Noone's engrossing solo play, he exerts a kind of scorpion-like charm” – Associated Press
"The great irony is that Augustine is a better man than he realizes. But damaged people damage others.
And it’s the fight for Augustine’s soul that raises “The Atheist”
from simple storytelling to an engaging play". - Alexander Stevens, Wicked Local, Lexington
“An entertaining look into the cut-throat, slippery and nihilistic world of the tabloid hack.” -The Stage, London
