The full list of shows includes:

• The Tempest
• Guys and Dolls
• Something Rotten!
• Waiting for Godot
• Death of a Salesman
• The Hobbit
• The Importance of Being Earnest
• A Midsummer Night’s Dream
• Othello
• Saturday, Sunday, Monday
• The Tao of the World
• The King James Bible Play

The season will officially begin Tuesday Apr. 21, with The Hobbit and Guys and Dolls set to take the stage for the first few weeks of performances, before a majority of the shows set to begin throughout May.
