Penniless and indebted to two demanding producers, struggling young playwright William Shakespeare is tormented by writer’s block until he meets the beautiful Viola de Lesseps, daughter of a wealthy merchant, whose fiery passion for poetry and drama leaves her secretly longing to be an actor. Both are despondent when they learn that Viola’s father has promised her to the stuffy Lord Wessex in order to gain a title for their family. Under the veil of secrecy, Will and Viola’s passionate love affair becomes the basis of the very play he is writing – Romeo and Juliet. With opening night – and the wedding day – fast approaching, the plots race toward a parallel conclusion. Will it all work out in the end or are the two star-crossed lovers destined for tragedy?
Having trouble leaving the house in those early baby days? Feeling alone during Oregon’s rainy season? We’ve been there. And as a result, we have an adult comedy show where parents can bring their baby along: the Baby On Board! Comedy Show. Bring your kiddo, and feel free to nurse, nap, do diaper changes— whatever you need
—during the show. Stroller parking available in the lobby! Enjoy a PG13 comedy show in the middle of the day rather than serving as a human nap pillow while alone in your house. Bring your baby to the show, since it’ll fly right over their (slightly squishy) head!

Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that—due to his painful shyness—suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and ultimately deeply moving. OUTSIDE MULLINGAR is a compassionate, delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

Whenever we bring comedians to town we always ask them “Who are the best new stand-ups we need to know about?” And for the past couple years they’ve all said the same thing, “Maddie Wiener. Maddie Wiener. Maddie Wiener.” Still in her mid-twenties, she’s already opened for everyone from Dave Attell to Nikki Glaser, done a set for Comedy Central, and been named to Just For Laughs’ prestigious New Faces lineup. Originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Maddie Wiener is now one of the most buzzed-about comedians in New York and a regular at the world famous Comedy Cellar. It’s always so cool to get to see a young comedian who’s really taking off, and we are so happy to have that chance here in Corvallis!

Nathan Macintosh sweats the small stuff. And the big stuff. OK, all the stuff. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and now based in New York, Nathan has performed his style of energetic, exasperated, explosive comedy everywhere from The Tonight Show to Conan to Colbert, and was recently named one of Variety’s Ten Comics To Watch for 2024. Following in the footsteps of such loud legends as Sam Kinison, Chris Rock and Bobcat Goldthwait, Nathan Macintosh delivers a high-energy, high-volume show that The New York Times says will make you “convulse with laughter”, naming both of his last two specials to their year-end Best Of lists.
