At a stormy 50th birthday party for wealthy and disliked millionaire Edward Worthington, his family, friends, employees, and business associates gather at Worthington Manor. Almost everyone has a reason to want Edward dead, creating plenty of suspicious characters and possible motives.

SOMETHING ROTTEN JR.
December 8-9 & 15th
Travel back to the Renaissance for an hour of musical comedy gold in SOMETHING ROTTEN! JR. Adapted from the Broadway hit that 'Time Out New York' hailed as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years," SOMETHING ROTTEN! JR. celebrates one undeniable truth: “nothing’s as amazing as a musical!”
In the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz. Something Rotten! JR. features large song and dance numbers, and a wacky cast of over-the-top characters, each with their own moment to shine. Don’t miss your chance to see this history-twisting tale! SOMETHING ROTTEN! JR. is a Performance Ensemble production presented by Liberty Theater Workshop in the Olentangy Liberty Black Box Theater (Room 1413).

Finding Neverland
March 18th-21st
FINDING NEVERLAND with book by James Graham, and music and lyrics by Gary Barlow & Eliot Kennedy
Based on the Academy Award-winning motion picture and the play THE MAN WHO WAS PETER PAN, FINDING NEVERLAND follows the relationship between playwright J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired PETER PAN, or THE BOY WHO WOULDN'T GROW UP.
J.M. Barrie, a struggling playwright, encounters a widowed mother, Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and her four sons in London’s Kensington Park. As Barrie befriends the family, he is inspired by their adventures, particularly Peter, who is reluctant to play due to his grief over the loss of his father. Barrie helps him to learn to play again and becomes inspired to create a new art form: children's theatre.
But who will pay to see a play about children? Who will play these characters? And how will they make Peter Pan fly?
Find out the answers to all these questions and more when Liberty Theater Workshop presents FINDING NEVERLAND this spring.
