The Addams Family: School Edition
October 23 - November 1, 2026
Stoner Theatre
Directed by Bryan Gamboa

THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Will Harriet find a way to put her life and her friendships back together?

Puffs (Two Act Edition)
April 30 - May 9, 2027
Stoner Theatre
Directed by Eric Schutt

A fast-paced magical comedy about underdogs, chaos, and belonging
What if the heroes of the story weren't the chosen ones?

 

PUFFS follows a group of loyal but often overlooked students at a certain school of magic. While another famous boy with a uniquely-shaped scar is busy saving the world, the Puffs are left to navigate friendships, classes, and the chaos unfolding around them.

 

Filled with fast-paced comedy, magical mayhem, and surprising heart, PUFFS is a hilarious parody that celebrates the underdogs and reminds us that everyone has a story worth telling.

Hadestown: Teen Edition
July 23- August 1, 2027
Stoner Theatre
Directed by Adam Haselhuhn

This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Anaïs Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
