- Godspell by Stephen Schwartz - Directed by G.J. Clayburn - March 7-30, 2008
- Godspell is a folk-rock musical based on the Gospel of Saint Matthew and was one of the biggest Broadway and off-Broadway successes of all time.

- An American Daughter by Wendy Wasserstein - Directed by Mishia Edwards - May 9-24, 2008
- An American Daughter tells the story of Dr. Lyssa Hughes, a respected physician nominated to be the next U.S. Surgeon General. On the surface, Dr. Hughes appears to be a woman who has it all — marriage, children, career and prestigious family ties. But in typical Wasserstein fashion, this multifaceted tale turns to depict a heroine balancing her political and professional ambitions with her personal life. But the story isn't limited to questions about the expectations of women. A media frenzy ignites after a piece of Dr. Hughes' past comes back to haunt her, highlighting the demands all politicians face when thrust into the public arena. An unlikely cast of characters, including an African-American Jew and a gay Republican, round out this funny satire about women and public life.
- The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare - Directed by Carin Bratlie - June, 2008
- The Merry Wives of Windsor deals with Sir John Falstaff, a knight down on both luck and cash, who hatches a scheme to raise funds. He will seduce Mistress Ford and Mistress Page in an attempt to get at their husbands' money. Falstaff, however, has overestimated his ingenuity; the two women compare their letters, and-finding them identical-hatch a plan of their own to make a buffoon of the knight.
