This line-up includes popular and lesser-known plays that will thrill, stir and delight Driftwood patrons.

Wait Until Dark by Frederick Knott - Twists and turns abound in this suspenseful thriller when three con men who are searching for a mysterious doll target an unsuspecting blind woman.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury - In this well-known dystopian drama, a book-burner starts to question his empty existence when a free-thinking teenager moves in next door and ignites a dangerous situation. A TIPs Production.

Mr. Scrooge by Richard Morris, Dolores Claman and Ted Wood - A lilting Christmas show based on the well-known Charles Dickens' classic. Lighthearted music makes this a wonderful way for the entire family to see the grand story of hardhearted Ebenezer Scrooge.

Seasons Change by Joe Starczyk - The season’s Spotlight on New Playwrights, the play chronicles the relationships of four couples as they face life’s challenges. The tone is funny, bittersweet, and sad as they deal with aging, loss, forgiveness, love, and death. A TIPs Production.

Enchanted April by Matthew Barber - Don’t miss the Tony-nominated play that the LA Times calls “as good as they come: a lush, thoroughly refreshing theatrical holiday. Escape has seldom seemed so sweet. A magical triumph."

Leaving Iowa by Tim Clue and Spike Manton - When a middle-aged writer finds the intended burial place for his father’s ashes has turned into a grocery store, he embarks on one last father and son road trip in search of the perfect resting place in this simultaneously hilarious and touching comedy.

The Drowsy Chaperone, book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison - Winner of five Tony Awards (including Best Book and Best Original Score), this delightfully madcap send-up of the Jazz age musical features one show-stopping song and dance number after another.

Lend Me a Tenor by Ken Ludwig - In this Broadway sensation, a meek and unassuming opera house assistant must save the day when a series of screwball mishaps befall the Cleveland Grand Opera’s biggest night. Hilarious fun!
