When a young door-to-door evangelist comes knocking, two older Catholic sisters set aside their southern charm—and all bets are off.

With humor and heart, it unpacks a crisis of faith, proving that conviction can be just as complicated as the people who hold it.
The Thanksgiving Play
by Larissa FastHorse
Directed by Dev Luthra
November 7 - 22, 2025
Good intentions meet absurd assumptions in this razor-sharp satire, as a troupe of well-meaning but hopelessly insensitive theater teachers attempt the impossible—staging an elementary school play that honors both the first Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Month. As they fumble through their own biases, blind spots, and the glaring absence of Indigenous voices, their misguided efforts spiral into a hilariously cringeworthy spectacle. A bold, modern comedy that lays bare the perils of good intentions gone wrong.
Ada and the Engine
by Lauren Gunderson

Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this captivating romance set at the dawn of the computer age. As the Industrial Revolution takes off, young Ada Byron Lovelace—daughter of the notorious poet Lord Byron—sees limitless potential in the “analytical engines” designed by her brilliant friend and kindred spirit, Charles Babbage. While society (and her mother) expect her to focus on marriage and motherhood, Ada dares to envision a future where art and mathematics intertwine, shaping a world yet to come. A music-infused tale of love, ambition, and the daring dreams that push the boundaries of possibility.
