A good meal.
A shared table.
A story waiting to begin.

Before stepping into The Next Chapter, enjoy a special pre-show dining experience with La Pizzaiola including their 'special' “Osso-book-o” created just for the season.

Because some evenings deserve to unfold slowly.

The room is starting to sound like memory.
Songs half-sung.
Stories retold.
Music finding its place between the pages.
Rehearsals for The Next Chapter: Things Found in Books are underway — and we can’t wait to welcome you in.
June 19–20.
Three performances only.

Someone left this behind.
A recipe for walnut loaf. A ticket stub. A name underlined twice.
Some things stay hidden for years before they ask to be remembered.
The Next Chapter: Things Left in Books
Songs. Music. Words.

Someone left a recipe between the pages.
Someone else left a photograph.
A baby's bracelet. A tuba luggage tag.
A note they never meant anyone else to read.

This June, we open the book again.

You didn’t lose it. It’s still there, between the pages.

So… we’ve been a little quiet lately. But not the “doing nothing” kind of quiet. More like the “sitting around tables plotting something kinda magical” kind.

Recently, Helen & Mary from Shoebox Theatre Company sat down with Lisa & Jess from The Accidentals… and let’s just say... Ideas were thrown around. Stories were shared. Something started taking shape.

And now… it’s happening.

A brand new collaboration is coming to the Empire Church Theatre this June.

We’re not saying too much just yet…
But if you love music, stories, and the little things people leave behind...

You’re going to want to stick around.
More soon.
