1) Golden Girl Murder Mystery
Miami is nice but Atlantic City is better. Your favorite ladies from the ‘80s and early 90s are throwing a party, and you’re invited! Sophia, Blanch, Rose and Dorothy have worked long and hard to throw the perfect celebration, but will they still be celebrating when they discover that one of their party guests has murderous intentions? As Sophia attempts to lighten the mood with a song, someone’s attempting to lighten the mood with a BANG!
During this hour and a half performance, audience members will get to play detective as the Without A Cue Golden Girls mingle with the audience. As guests enjoy a cocktail, the ladies will delight the audience with their iconic banter. Once the performance begins, guests will become part of the action as they play detective and try to solve the mystery. At the end of the night, the audience will try to solve the mystery and guess whodunnit. One winner will win a prize.

When Tully, a carefree singer-songwriter at a tropical resort, and Rachel, a workaholic vacationer from up north, meet sparks fly as these opposites attract and romance abounds in this heartwarming and hilarious musical comedy.

The heartwarming musical based on the Judy Garland movie. It is the summer of 1903, and everyone in the Smith family eagerly anticipates the opening of the 1904 World’s Fair. Over the course of a year, the family's mutual respect, tempered with good-natured humor, helps them through romance, opportunity, and heartbreaks. The musical includes seven of the best-loved songs from the film, plus ten additional Martin and Blane songs written especially for the stage. Memorable musical numbers include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Boy Next Door," "The Trolley Song," and "Whenever I’m with You."

4) Mrs. Roper Romp
Dust off your favorite caftan muumuus, red curly wigs and come out to the Starlight Ballroom for an evening of nostalgia with a twist. There will be party games with a Three's Company flair and themed cocktails like "The Jack Tripper" and "The Janet Special." Dance the night away to Yacht Rock hits performed by Without a Cue's professional singers.
Dress like Mrs. Roper to really join in the fun. Beyond the caftan muumuus and red curly wigs, think psychedelic prints, paisley, bright florals, or bold solids in oranges, purples, and pinks. The more flowy and flamboyant, the better. Plus chunky statement jewelry, beaded necklaces, oversized hoop earrings, gaudy cocktail rings, platform sandals, fuzzy slippers, and oversize sunglasses.
Prizes galore await lucky winners, and
the night wouldn't be complete without a surprise performance. Dressing in costume is highly encouraged (but optional). So grab your best friends, channel your inner Mrs. Roper, and prepare for a night of laughter, games, and unforgettable fun.
Note: This is not a pub crawl. Instead it's one great night of dancing, games, and hilarious fun that all Helens will approve of. Tickets include the show, with theme drinks pay-as-you-go.

5) Ginger Twinsies
You want the 411? In the summer of 1998, a pair of long lost, red-headed twin girls unexpectedly meet at sleep-away camp and hatch a plan to reunite their estranged parents. Sound familiar? Shut up, no it doesn't! Welcome to Ginger Twinsies – a loving, outlandish, and wildly inappropriate send up of the Lindsay Lohan/Nancy Meyers classic that made us all believe that Oreos go great with peanut butter, wedding gowns deserve top hats, and being young and beautiful is not a crime. So, pack your bags! Kevin Zak (no credits) invites you to enjoy this 80-minute Parent Trap parody stacked with nostalgia, camp (literally, they go camping), and some unexpected twists.

6) The Gospel of Colonus
In The Gospel at Colonus, the epic myth of Oedipus is reborn as a Pentecostal ritual that remakes prophecy as testimony and brokenness as transcendence. A man condemned from birth searches for grace. A choir lifts him up. The congregation – the audience – bears witness to his tale. But here, tragedy is not an ending – it’s the road to deliverance.

10) Transgression
After her husband dies in 2010, a great photographer’s widow goes through his studio in preparation for a major bequest/retrospective of his work. While doing so, she comes across a portfolio she has never seen – containing what she and the museum think may be the best work he ever did. These photos, taken in 1970, also happen to be nudes of an underaged woman that are very sexual. When the subject, now grown, becomes aware of them, she demands that they be destroyed. Forced to wrestle with the question of what you do with art that is both important and itself a violation, the widow must reconsider both her life and marriage.

13) Chain Theatre One Act Festival
Chain Theatre’s annual Summer One-Act Festival is back and bolder than ever. . Featuring more than 90 short plays across curated nightly blocks (each 75–90 minutes), the festival offers a bold mix of dark comedy, gripping drama, and unexpected magic, with select performances available for streaming.
Headlining Program Block #1 is Paul Calderón’s gripping double bill THE INTERLUDE and VOICES FROM THE EDGE, showcasing a powerhouse performance from the acclaimed actor, writer, and co-founder of Primitive Grace Theatre Ensemble. Calderón, whose screen credits include Bosch: Legacy, Boardwalk Empire, and Fear the Walking Dead, brings both plays to life alongside members of his multiracial, multigenerational company, renowned for its raw, reality-shifting work. In The Interlude, a disillusioned trainer implores his female fighter, exhibiting signs of pugilistic dementia, to leave the ring, while Voices from the Edge features four women sharing harrowing personal accounts of gun violence. Calderón’s role as playwright and performer, rooted in his identity as a Latino artist, resonates with this year’s programming.
Also featured are:
- WHAT HAPPENED WAS, a dark comedy by Walter John Thompson, starring three-time Emmy Winner Cady McClain (Beyond the Gates, Law and Order: SVU) and directed by theater legend Obie and Drama Desk Award-winner Austin Pendleton (Between Riverside and Crazy, Orson’s Shadow). In a dilapidated bar that flickers between memory and imagination, two actors trapped in an endless loop confront love, regret, and the fragile line between reality, performance and the unbearable silence of being unseen. (Program #2)
- From the D&D-addled mind of Twenty-Sided Tavern co-creator David Andrew Laws comes a fantastical, disembodied adventure PETER DOYLE'S INCREDIBLE HEAD. D&D theater fans- this one's for you!(Program #13)
- MEETING MARLON by screenwriter David Rich (Renegades, MacGyver, Stargate: SG-1) — an offbeat comedy about two actors auditioning for a film directed by none other than Marlon Brando.
This year's lineup reflects the Chain Theatre’s commitment to culturally, politically, and socially responsive art, offering a platform where new work is incubated with purpose. Chain has recently premiered works by Eric Bogosian, David Rabe, Lyle Kessler, and Jesse Eisenberg, who made his stage directorial debut here before winning an Academy Award for A Real Pain.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
50th Anniversary
July 13 and July 16
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest tells the story of a free-spirited rogue who takes over the ward of a mental hospital by a combination of chutzpah and ingenuity. The film is based on Ken Kesey’s best-selling novel published in 1962. Using the madhouse to symbolize the individual against the system, the story gets its power from its unforgettable ensemble of characters and accretion of details that reveal what life is about inside a mental institution. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest swept the top five Oscars® in 1976, the first film to do so since It Happened One Night in 1934.

Acclaimed Black Filipinx playwright and Kilroys List honoree Roger Q.

The reading will be directed by karl hawkins (boy meets boy meets girl at A.R.T./New York) and feature Leland Fowler (Plays for the Plague Year at The Public), Kamal Sehrawy (What in the Actual F__k? at NYTW), and Geoff Hill (Oblivious with The Barrow Group).
