Set in 1920s England, Enchanted April follows Lotty Wilson (Dawn Hill), who settles upon an April getaway to a secluded castle in Milan to relieve her boredom with rainy London (and with her husband - played by Don Knepper). She invites along her new friend, quiet and thoughtful Rose Arnott (Caitlin Van Niel), who is feeling left behind by her own husband (Joe Pine).

Needing money to cover the rental fee of the Italian castle, Lotty manages to convince two unlikely strangers to go along - the free-spirited young socialite Lady Caroline (Evie Koh), and an overbearing widow named Mrs. Graves (Anna Davis). Upon reaching Milan, the unlikely companions also meet the castle's owner (Matt Mortensen) and cook (Pamela Ruiz).

While falling in love with the Mediterranean countryside, they each learn something surprising about hope, love, and themselves. It's an uplifting romantic comedy that's perfect for warming the heart in the middle of a blustery Cleveland winter!

Starring Christopher DiMichele, Amy Pelleg, Don Bernardo and Bob Fortlage

Just when you thought you'd heard every crazy 9/11 conspiracy theory, a stranger walks into the Yankee Tavern. There, inside the walls of this crumbling New York tavern, a young couple finds themselves caught up in what might be the biggest conspiracy of all.

Steven Dietz's acclaimed dramatic theiller is a fierce, funny, and ultimately mind-bending work of theatrical power that grips you until the final word. What you don't know can hurt you!
