From the comedy minds that brought you "Happy Days" and "Pretty Woman"
Wrong Turn at Lungfish
by Garry Marshall and Lowell Ganz
Directed by Marissa Meek
Peter is a blind and bitter former college professor and Anita is a saucy, streetwise young woman who volunteers to read to him in the hospital. The hilarious clash of worlds and wit takes the two from animosity and fear to friendship and understanding. Both come with high stakes questions, hers dealing with her life and her handsome yet abusive boyfriend Dominic, and his about what is next. As their relationship develops, both end up with hopeful answers. (Dramady, heavy on comedy)​

The hit musical coming to Sequim
Nunsense
by Dan Goggin
Directed by Morgan Bartholick
Nunsense is habit-forming! This riotous show is a fundraiser put on by the Little Sisters of Hoboken to raise money to bury sisters accidently poisoned by the convent cook, Sister Julia (Child of God). Updated with new jokes, additional lyrics, two new arrangements, and a brand new song, this madcap musical was recorded for television starring Rue McClanahan as the Mother Superior.
