For one night only (cough TONIGHT cough), The Sonnet(s) Project reimagines Shakespeare's Sonnets.

In their first night of the series, the first piece is Letters to Antonio, "a show geared to the LGBT community. It is a coming of age story during one of our greatest age of turmoil during the clutch plague. In the ideas and passing on of a name, Antonio must fight his family and everyone around him, including himself, to stand for who he loves and what he must face. Facing shame and legacy Antonio begins his journey with two loves and leaves with something you don’t expect."

Tonight only - 6pm and 8pm. $10 suggestion donation.

***JUST ANNOUNCED***

Cult Camp Productions​ presents Altar Boyz!

ALTAR BOYZ is a foot-stomping, rafter-raising, musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy-band on the last night of their national 'Raise the Praise' tour. The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. With their tight harmonies and spectacular choreography, the ALTAR BOYZ will delight your audiences. As they perform their signature hits such as 'Rhythm In Me,' 'The Calling,' and 'I Believe,' the Boyz question their loyalty to each other and ask whether or not faith is really holding them together. They finally deliver a message of unity, that 'there is no star as bright as its constellation, no harmony in a single voice.'

Join us AUGUST 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 8PM \\www.maynestage.com for more info and tickets//
