Three Great Shows This Summer

Our three major productions will again be held at Naperville Central Auditorium, where there’s an audience capacity of 800.  How do we come up with 3 big crowd pleasers each season? Through the hard work of our play reading committee.

There are currently 15 active members who meet once a month to discuss & dissect a lengthy list of shows that may be appropriate for each new season. We look to provide diversity of authors and composers from year to year, provide a sampling of classics mixed with contemporary shows and try to educate, inform and entertain. We also try to fill the needs of our Performing, Production and Tech  community by offering shows that challenge us theatrically.

Don't Dress For Dinner is a classic sexual romp in the French countryside. We loved it's high voltage energy and quick witted flow from scene to scene. It provides a Director with many visual opportunities to create "pictures" while providing actors an opportunity to experiment with comedy. Learn more about Don't Dress For Dinner...

Godspell has a timeless energy that is endearing and thoughtful while still being full of humor.  An effortless score filled with "hummable" tunes such as "Day by Day" will transform you into the lives of these 12 individuals who find friendship, love and ultimately, the greatest sacrifice. We love the music and the simplicity of it's message-it is a show for all ages and beliefs. Learn more about Godspell...

Kiss Me Kate is old school musical! It has the classic charm of the standard 2 leads, 2 supporting leads and 2 bumbling comical characters in the form of gangsters,  as well as  a large  energetic ensemble of  dancers and singers! How can you go wrong with a score set out by Cole Porter! It is a play within a play about theatre folk, love, war between former lovers, unforgettable dance numbers like "Too Darn Hot" and of course "Brush Up Your Shakespeare". We cannot wait to create Padua for you! Learn more about Kiss Me Kate...
