A missing father, a pill-popping mother and three sisters harboring dubious little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoma family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling mysteries. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you’ve got a major play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
Content Advisory: August: Osage County contains strong language and mature subject matter, including themes of alcoholism, addiction, abuse, violence, and family conflict.

Yes, you read that correctly! We’ll be showing the original – William Peter Blatty’s “The Exorcist”. Often imitated, never duplicated, many consider this the best horror film of all time as it was nominated for ten oscars and won two. Audiences left the theaters screaming when the film was originally released. On October 17th, we’ll be showing the lesser known Director’s Cut. Come out and see the film as it was originally intended – on the big screen with CSP’s state-of-the-art sound system! When a mysterious entity possesses a young girl, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life. The costume contest will take place immediately following the screening. Think pageant. Contestants will have to strut their stuff across the stage and the audience will pick the winner who will receive a $100 gift card and two VIP passes to attend our full festival in August of 2026.
The Exorcist is rated “R”. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

At a large, tastefully appointed townhouse, the Deputy Mayor has just shot himself. Though it’s only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock’s self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce. As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyers Ken and Chris Gorman, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive.

Shaw’s classic – and the inspiration for “My Fair Lady” – is given a new spin! This funny, intelligent tale of a Master of Dialects’ mission to remake an impoverished cockney girl and “take her anywhere and pass her off as anything!” is moved to 1968. Henry and Liza navigate the social upheaval in “Swinging London” after World War 2, where a newly affluent working class is breaking down barriers just blocks from Liza’s tiny flat and youth culture is turning society on its head

When four friends attend the funeral of Mrs. Graziano they find out she died because she could not afford her prescriptions. The youngest of the group – a klutzy 30-something – decides ‘something’ has to be done. She convinces the other three – all seniors – that ‘something’ is to burglarize pharmacies. All goes well until police put together a task force. And then it doesn’t go so well. This is screwball comedy a fast-paced, physical show with sight gags, pratfalls, and non-stop action.

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.
