2026 Summer Season
ONE ACTOR. A SINGLE DAY. A THOUSAND LAUGHS.
Fully Committed is a fast-paced one-person comedy masterpiece! Struggling-actor Sam spends the day working the reservation line at one of New York City’s most exclusive restaurants. Over the course of a single chaotic day in the basement reservations office, Sam fields calls from demanding VIPs, entitled socialites, desperate diners, and eccentric celebrities—all while juggling pressure from the temperamental chef, personal struggles, and artistic aspirations. This show is a comedic tour de force with a side of sharp commentary on status, ambition, and the hard work that keeps luxury afloat. Recommended for ages 13+.

With improvisational elements, audience participation, and witty musical numbers, the show transforms a simple spelling bee into celebration of growing up, letting go, and individuality. Recommended for ages 12+.

A MUSICAL FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN
Working is a celebration of everyday people and the jobs that shape their lives. Told through a series of monologues and songs, the show spotlights workers from all walks of life—teachers, laborers, servers, caregivers, artists, and more—each sharing their hopes, struggles, pride, and unseen contributions. And in honor of the local community, the piece is tailored to reflect the unique voices of Creede and the surrounding region, incorporating local stories and occupations. Together, these portraits create a heartfelt, human tapestry that honors the dignity, humor, and resilience of the people who keep a community running. Songs by Craig Carnelia, Micki Grant, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mary Rodgers, Susan Birkenhead, Stephen Schwartz, and James Taylor. Recommended for ages 13+.

As the game of cat and mouse escalates, Holmes must match wits with a foe as clever as he is, testing the limits of his brilliance, friendship, and resolve.
