They’re Back, Y’all! Third in this series of hilarious plays, each set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the “third-smallest” town in the state. Keith Wick and Stephen Frankenfield play the entire cast of over twenty eccentric characters of both genders and various ages. An affectionate and satirical commentary on small-town, Southern life and attitudes. Along with Tuna’s perennial favorites, some new Tuna residents burst into the 4th of July Tuna High School Class Reunion, setting the stage for a show full of fireworks and fun.

It’s the 1950’s, a time of malt shops, poodle skirts, and sock hops.  Now throw in the classic story of Cinderella, and you’re bound to have a rockin’ good time.  When the Burger Palace King decides to throw a sock hop, in hopes of finding a girl for his lonely son, everyone in town is getting excited for the event, including Cinderella and her two step-sisters.  But when Cinderella isn’t able to go, it’s up to her Fairy Godfather to come to the rescue.  And when the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella runs off, leaving just a shoe behind, it is up to the Burger Palace Prince to find the love of his life.  Come jump, jive, and wail to this Rock N’ Roll take on a classic story.

Are you perplexed by how to apply for grants? Would you like to give your grant applications an edge, beyond the grammar and syntax of the actual application?

Our class will cover the process of grants that are beyond what is obvious on a grant application, including how to narrow down your project focus and organize your grant search process. You will also learn how to build long-term relationships with foundations and funders and the steps to take in stewardship and cultivation that can make your grant applications stand out.

Differentiation is key when you're in a saturated market. Do you know how your business fills a unique niche in the market? The first step to positioning your business is understanding your competitors. In this workshop you will use ReferenceUSA, a national business directory, to understand who your competitors are, where they're concentrated, and how big of a market share they hold.

This class can also be used to identify potential customers for businesses who sell to other businesses.

The Effect is a clinical romance. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off-course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved. This funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction. Contains adult themes/ language.
