- Dreamgirls | September 16-25, 2022 | VBC Playhouse

- Clue | January 20-29, 2023 | VBC Playhouse
- Based on the 1985 film of the same name, which in turn, was based on a board game, “Clue” is a classic whodunnit. The comedic murder-mystery takes place at a remote mansion where six guests assemble for a dinner party — with deadly consequences.

- This 1988 play has the honor of being the longest-running show in Chicago history – and it’s still playing. It’s an experimental work that prides itself of being “30 Plays in 60 Minutes.” It has to be seen to be believed.
