A hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields!

We're kicking 2024 off with a show that will have our easiest tech week yet! Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!

This winter, you won't want to miss our new holiday hit! Snowed in at the airport during their holiday travel, a group of frustrated and misplaced travelers find some festive fun when they discover a karaoke machine!

It is Christmas Eve and Alex, a young Jewish man, who is waiting to board his flight at Sioux Gateway Airport. meets Brooklynn, a young woman. She starts up a conversation with Alex, telling him anabsurd story about a lady on her last flight, named Karen, who was telling a story about her ex-husband, who left her for the nanny, and then left the nanny for a one-night stand. Alex tells a story about a lady on his last flight, named Karyn, who brought a ukulele on the flight. As they talk, the two ladies, who are the ex-wives, see each other.

An arguing couple, named Nate and Vanessa, enter the gate and bicker at each other. Henry, who has a frozen but defrosting turkey, comes to the gate. Alex’s grandmother, Dot, returns to the gate from the bathroom. They are traveling together to Vermont to visit Burlington’s largest or tallest landmarks.

A gate agent appears and announces a delay of one hour. The passengers pause and freeze as two Narrators set the scene. When they are done, all of the passengers unfreeze and begin to complain to the gate agent. To appease the angry passengers, the gate agent brings out a karaoke machine to help pass the time.

As passengers take turns singing karaoke songs, they start to enjoy themselves and have fun…but will the flight ever take off?

This show carries an R rated for strong language.

Join us this fall for this spooky adaptation of the Washington Irving classic! Brought to you by a grant from the Waukegan Arts Council!

In the quaint village of Sleepy Hollow, stories of wonder and strangeness surround the legend of a mighty headless Hessian. When the humble schoolteacher Ichabod Crane vies for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, the townsfolk might protest, but it is ultimately the Horseman who will decide Ichabod's fate.

Wauke-Con 2023! Waukegan’s Annual Comic Book Convention!

In honor of Ray Bradbury, we put together a comic con in his hometown of Waukegan, IL, a place he immortalized in numerous works, including Something Wicked This Way Comes and Dandelion Wine. Whenever he referred to a place called Green Town, IL, he was thinking of Waukegan. A comic book convention is perfect tribute to the life-long fan. He not only attended the very first San Diego Comic Con in 1970 and went to each one following until his death, he also attended the World Science Fiction Convention in 1939, generally considered the first science fiction convention. He was all of 19 and still just dreaming about becoming a great writer, a dream that has come to pass. We hope you can join us for the next Wauke-Con, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. Proceeds to benefit Three Bros. Theatre.

The Waukegan Comedy Jam is a passion project for Kristin Carnes who grew up in the city and graduated from East High School in 1985. She began doing stand-up comedy in Boston a few years ago performing throughout New England. After participating in a number of comedy festivals around the country, she realized this would be a great addition to Downtown Waukegan’s burgeoning arts scene.

After returning to Waukegan for a visit, Kristin connected with Waukegan Main Street, Three Brothers, and the City of Waukegan and thus the Waukegan Comedy Jam was born.

This years jam will be on September 29th and 30th. The 29th will feature headliner Amy Sumpter and includes Kadeem Fuller, Denise Medina, Ryan Webb, and Dr. Jackie Linn.

The 30th will feature headliner Jarrell Scott Barnes with Eric Mitchell, Mike Atcherson, Luise Noe, and Natalie Wickman.

Both nights will be hosted by local legends Mark Bon and Kristin Carnes!
