Arrangement For Two Violas

is a beautiful, yet tragic story by Susan Lieberman, centered around Peter Chase, a country doctor who devotes himself only to his patients in a small Wisconsin town in 1938. Peter is single and without family. Through his treatment of his fri/files/storyimages/Karl’s emphysema, Peter comes into contact with a nationally-known specialist in Milwaukee. Peter discovers love for the first time. Not only the charismatic director of a medical institution, this new love, like Peter, is an avid amateur violist. They conduct a passionate affair in secret. Fearful of what would happen if their community finds out, their relationship is threatened when the desire of one to challenge society and live openly conflicts with the need of the other for privacy. When the intimacy is accidentally revealed, the consequences are immense, exacting an emotional price.

Murder on 34th Street

-

Santa's workshop is bustling on the day before the big parade. His staff needs to check some last-minute details with Mr. Macy, but when they open his office door, they find Mr. Macy dead! But how is that possible? Everyone knows that only fictional characters exist, and they can't die! In this holiday mystery, the audience teams up with Santa and a popular fictional detective to figure out who killed Mr. Macy and why -- and, in the process, prove the existence of "real" people.

Written by A.S. Waterman and directed by Niles Welch,
