New Hope Community Church presents The Promise, a live Easter musical drama portraying the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Performances are March 26–28.

This free community event is open to the public. Performance times and details at newhope.cc/promise.

Inspired by speakeasy glamour and burlesque flair, this one-of-a-kind cabaret features daring reimaginings of musical theatre favorites, cheeky gender-bending, and performances that lean fully into mature themes. This is musical theatre after dark — irreverent, unapologetic, and delightfully inappropriate.

The night at Hotel Indigo also includes a costume contest, audience interaction, and plenty of opportunities to raise a glass for your favorite nonprofit community theatre, Old Town Playhouse.

Dress for a speakeasy. Come for the mischief. Stay for the cause. Doors open one hour before showtime. Cash bar service will be available.
