The remarkable Agatha Christie is perhaps the world’s most famous mystery writer. Her works are reportedly outsold only by Shakespeare and the Bible.
Leonard Vole, a young man admittedly strapped for money, is accused of murdering a wealthy older woman. The high-profile trial has London buzzing and many are curious about Leonard’s enigmatic German wife that he rescued and brought to London after the war. This thrilling courtroom drama with its twists and shocks has long kept theatre goers on the edge of their seats dying to know, “guilty or not guilty”.

“My story is about being able to help change things no matter what your age.” — Lynda Blackmon Lowery
Alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and her neighbors and friends, teenage Lynda Blackmon Lowery walked from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama during the Voting Rights March of 1965 on her 15th birthday. Jailed nine times before the March and badly beaten on Bloody Sunday, Lowery’s powerful story is filled with sorrow and inspiration. Based on Lowery’s memoir, traditional and original Gospel and Freedom songs frame the journey of a brave young American heroine.
A joint production of the Wake Forest University Department of Theatre & Dance and the Loire Valley Theatre Festival. This project is supported in part by funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Sense and Sensibility is a fun and lively adaptation of the classic novel. The Dashwood sisters—sensible, restrained Elinor and emotional, romantic Marianne—both engage in the high stakes game (more or less obligatory for women of their time and social class) of securing a suitable husband. Adding to the challenge for the sisters are the embodiment of societal pressure, gossips that watch and judge their every move.
Audience Notice: No late admission for these performances.

April 7 & 14 at 2:00 pm
Tedford Stage, Scales Fine Arts Center
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage and 20-year drought have led to a ban on private toilets and the domination of malevolent Urine Good Company. The poor revolt, led by brave young Bobby Strong, fighting tooth and nail for the freedom to pee “wherever you like, whenever you like, for as long as you like.”
Urinetown is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, surprisingly intelligent musical satire, and the winner of multiple Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel, Outer Critics’ Circle, and Tony Awards.
