This fictionalized account of the Scopes “Monkey” trial in Tennessee addresses basic issues which are still controversial today. Thinly disguised characters portraying William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow oppose each other in this dramatic re-creation of the trial of a teacher for teaching Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution to a high school science class. It’s faith versus science in a play that reflects conflicts that still trouble our society.

Running through April 25.

Doctor X is on a mission to make happy couples of The City pay, murdering them while they sleep with his specially designed poison that goes straight to the heart. Meanwhile, talented surgeon Peter works around the clock to perfect an artificial replacement to his own damaged heart, so it’ll never be broken again. Caught in the middle are The Crimefighters—nurses by day, superheroes by night—who must stop Doctor X before he kills love forever.

An eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts sets about restoring an old race car from a scrap heap with the help of his children, Jeremy and Jemima. They soon discover the car has magical properties including the ability to float and take flight. Trouble occurs when the evil Baron Bomburst desires the magic car for himself.
