Hit the Wall tells the story of the historic Stonewall Riots with a spirit of rebellion and self-a rmation.

“Hit the Wall is that special show that you will never stop thinking about. It’s raw, visceral, passionate, and a truly devastating and life-a rming revolution.”

At a rural high school in Georgia, a group of lively teens are studying The Crucible while navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals. Alternately touching and bitingly funny, this comedy captures a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, writing their own coming of age story.

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd—Stephen Sondheim’s twisted story of love, revenge, and infamous meat pies! In the dark heart of Victorian-era London, Sweeney Todd, a wrongly exiled barber, seeks retribution against the lecherous Judge Turpin, the architect of his ruin.

Join us for this classic holiday story to benefit the School of Theatre and Centre Stage, performed by the professional artists on the School’s faculty, along with students and members of the community in a truly unique Town and Gown event for the holiday season.
