OTHELLO
October 7 – 10 and October 14 – 17
8 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theatre
With language and psychological depth rivaling the highest of Shakespeare’s achievements as a dramatist, Othello is a highly charged tale of jealousy, prejudice, revenge and the destruction of innocence. The charismatic general Othello is admired throughout Venice for his strength, honesty, and courage... except by the treacherous villain Iago. Passed over for the position of Othello’s lieutenant, Iago begins to plot his revenge against the Moor. When Othello marries the beautiful Desdemona, Iago seizes the opportunity to exploit the general's trust, inflame his jealousy, and ultimately destroy him. As Iago’s lies begin to take hold, Othello questions more and more the fidelity of his new bride. Shakespeare weaves a bloody tapestry of deception, betrayal, love, and honor crashing to a devastating conclusion in one of the most thrilling plays. Tickets: $8/adults or $6/seniors or students.
THE MURDER ROOM
December 2 – 5 and December 9 – 12
8 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theatre
The Murder Room, a comedy by Jack Sharkey, tells the story of bland Edgar Hollister who marries a gold-digger, Mavis Templeton. After a couple hours of painful marriage, Mavis apparently tries various means to bump off her apparently rich husband. The Murder Room is a zany spoof of British mysteries. There are secret chambers, panels and trap lids galore that are operated by ridiculous contrivances - a grand mixture of Agatha Christie, Monty Python and Abbott and Costello. The quick, smart, well-timed dialogue, combined with hilarious situations and physical antics, make this high, mad melodrama a fun night at the theater. Guaranteed to provide many laughs! Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students/seniors.
SNOOPY!!! THE MUSICAL
February 24-27 and March 3-6
8 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theatre

Schulz comic strip Peanuts, this sequel to the musical “You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown” focuses more on the life of Snoopy with life lessons in self-confidence, lots of laughs, and songs. Come join Snoopy – one of the most dynamic and recognizable comic characters in the world – and his friends Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Sally and Woodstock as they bring this 58-year-old comic strip to life on the stage! Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students/seniors.
