The smash Broadway and international hit tells the amusing tale of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads! On the eve of the daughter’s wedding on a Greek island paradise, her quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The storytelling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship.

The Arthur Miller classic about the witch hunts and trials in seventeenth-century Salem pits neighbor against neighbor and an all-too-eager prosecution against the innocent. Utilizing historical people and real events, Miller’s drama is a searing portrait of a community engulfed by hysteria. Featuring students from Greenville’s Fine Arts Center in key roles, this will be a magnificently collaborative journey through one of the greatest written plays in the literary canon.
