FEBRUARY - MARCH:
MISERY 02/27/26 - 03/15/26
By William Goldman, from the novel by Stephen King, directed by Randy Schultz.
A bestselling novelist wakes up in the home of his “number one fan” after a car crash… and realizes rescue has a terrifying price. A nail-biting thriller about obsession and survival.
Rated PG-14. Content advisory: Adult language, psychological suspense, moments of staged violence.
JUNE:
THE ODD COUPLE 06/05/26 - 06/21/26
By Neil Simon, directed by Frank Squillo. Neat-freak
Felix moves in with happily messy Oscar, and chaos (plus classic laughs) ensues. An odd-couple friendship learns to bend without breaking.
Rated PG. Mild adult themes, humor, occasional mild language, references to divorce, smoking/alcohol, and brief innuendo. Suitable for most audiences; recommended ages 10+.
SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER:
DRACULA: THE RADIO PLAY
Adapted by Philip Grecian from Bram Stoker
The Raio Play transforms the classic vampire tale into a 1940s-style live radio broadcast with actors at microphones, vintage “ads,” and hand-made sound effects by Foley artists that conjure castles, coffins, and creeping terror.
As Jonathan Harker, Van Helsing, and Mina battle Count Dracula, the audience becomes part of the studio “listening” and viewing experience.
Rated PG. Classic horror tension, spooky sound effects, references to blood/violence, and peril. No gore. Recommended ages 10+.
DECEMBER:
WINTER WONDERETTES
By Roger Bean
Riverbend Players' first musical!
A festive, feel-good comedy set at the holiday party in the local hardware store (think Nehalem of Manzinta Lumber), where four friends jump in to save the celebration when things go hilariously off the rails.
Packed with 1960s-style harmonies, jokes, and heart, it’s small-town cheer with big vocals and bigger laughs.
Rated G/Family-friendly. Light comedic mishaps and holiday humor. Recommended ages 6+.
