FALL SHOW
Dial M for Murder by Frederick Knott November 6-9, 2025 Oscar Larson Theater Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center Tony Wendice, who married his wife Margot for her money, now plans to murder her for the same reason. Tony arranges the perfect murder: He hires a scoundrel he once knew into strangling Margot, and arranges a brilliant alibi for himself. The night of the planned attack, in a thrilling surprise twist, the plan goes awry and Margot manages to kill her attacker.
Momentarily ruffled, Tony soon sees the hitman's death as an opportunity to have his wife convicted of murder. Working with an inspector from Scotland Yard, Tony plants the idea that Margot had planned the murder. Fortunately, the inspector and a friend of Margot's eventually discover the truth. In a scene of almost unbearable suspense, they trick Tony into revealing his guilt, freeing Margot. Cast and Crew: Margot Wendice .........

Stu Melby Director - Olivia Davis Asst. Director - Grant Taylor Costume Design - Jay Bauman Lighting Design - Abigayle Davis Sound Design - Alex Raether Set Design - Jason Soren |

Barefoot in the Park by Neil Simon March 19 - 22, 2026 Fishback Studio Theatre Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He’s a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she’s a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent find – too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. After a six-day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie’s loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco, where everything that can go wrong does. Paul just doesn’t understand Corie, as she sees it. He’s too staid, too boring, and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous. Running “barefoot in the park” would be a start…
