Swashbuckling Sisters

Poster not final.

Cecelia, Constance, Clare and Christabelle Swashbuckling live on the small island of Cessabit and run their family’s candle shop. They dream of adventures like they’ve had in their bedtime stories, but it never seems possible until one day…when they accidentally commandeer a pirate ship. Now the world is their oyster…where will their adventures take them? This musical, written by Erin McGrath, will be performed on May 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2024.

Eyes of Evil

Untitled Artwork (5)

When the city of Greylock begins to experience a reign of terror from a murderer they’ve never experienced before, Detective Loretta Kincade is brought to the city to assist with the case. Her previous experience with the serial killer “The King of Spades” has given her a sense of confidence and knowledge for this case. However, upon seeing her first victim and receiving a phone call from the unknown killer, Kincade soon realizes that “The King of Spades” was never caught, and he’s back to prove a point. What started as another job for Loretta turns into a personal hell of identity crisis and morality as the lines between detective and murderer become more and more blurry.

Eyes of Evil was performed Thursday, March 7 at 7:30 PM and Friday, March 8th at 6:00 PM in the Gordon C. Getchell Auditorium, and was a part of the annual Connecticut Drama Association Festival.
