Please note for the new season we will have two matinees on the second weekend.  For each show, the second Saturday performance will start at 2:30pm instead of 7:30pm as it had in past seasons.  This is to accommodate the growing number of CCP patrons who prefer matinees!

The remaining thespians must attempt to save their careers, solve the mystery, and stay alive for curtain call; a non-stop physical comedy that turns the world of theatre on its head!
