New! Cast for our summer musical just announced!

We'll head to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, for the annual Groundhog Day Ceremony. We'll meet Phil Connors, a seasoned big-city weatherman, whose arrogance and cynicism are in direct opposition to the cheery townsfolk awaiting their favorite groundhog to foretell when spring will arrive. After disdainfully covering the rodent's negative forecast, Phil awakens each day after, only to discover it's February 2 again. Will Phil accept that he is doomed to repeat the same day over and over again? Or will he find thecourage to change himself and his fate? Inspired by the hilarious film.

There's still time to save on season tickets to our last two shows.  Click HERE for order form.
