Wildest Dreams by Alan Ayckbourn
Comedy— In this "be careful what you wish for" comedy set in a small town outside of London, a group of misfit friends project their dreams and aspirations onto figures in a board game they play. The characters slowly become their view of perfection, but not without dire (yet sometimes humorous) consequences.
(A revival of a 2007 SURF project)

Little Mary Sunshine* by Rick Besoyan
Musical—In this loving spoof of old time movie musicals, the setting is “the wild Rocky Mountains of Colorado, populated by sweet Little Mary, stalwart Captain Big Jim of the Forest Rangers, a chorus of simpering school girls paired with more Rangers, and a villainous Indian. Thundering choruses, schmaltzy waltzes and lilting duets add to the delight in a souvenir from an innocent era gone by.
