Announcing our 2026-27 Season
Our Pre-Season Dinner Theatre Fundraiser
Putting on quality shows costs!
Support our season by coming to our murder mystery dinner theatre.
The date is October 1776.
The British are coming and so is the body count.
The British evacuated from Boston in March.
The rebels are fighting hard in New York and a spy has infiltrated the resistance.
It’s costing the colonial forces dearly.
A meeting is called at the Beacon Tavern on the Massachusetts North Shore to root out the royal weasel. Notoriously suspicious, Anson is close to uncovering the spy but is killed before identifying the spy.
It’s now up to the tavern guests to discover who did it and bring the spy to justice.
Meal: salad, lasagna (meat & vegitarian), dessert, soft drinks. Cash bar available.
Tickets at: Ludus: Artist Village
Our Season Opener:
Witches!?
In Salem?!
Oct. 23-25
Thomas Campbell Oakman Chapel
3715 S. Main St., Hope Mills.
In the spirit of edu-tainment, Jenny Anne Bishop, an eighth grader who got “way too into her class lesson plan on "The Crucible” guides us through all the fun facts from the years leading up to, during, and after the Trials. Meet culprits, victims, and bystanders alike as a village in turmoil comes to life.

For the Holidays:
The Toys
Take Over Christmas
Dec. 11-13
Thomas Campbell Oakman Chapel
3715 S. Main St., Hope Mills.
A family-fun holiday performance starring the Toymaker, Captain the Wooden soldier, Sunny the Ragdoll and many others.
The hardhearted toymaker refuses to sell any of the dolls he makes, but his magic made them almost like real children and they want to escape the workshop and have fun with other children. Now the toys are in revolt against the toymaker, and when they find a jar of hearts, they pin one on him. Zowie—the heart does its stuff!
We expect a visit from the Jolly Old Man as well!
