“Director Caleb Ross and his intrepid cast mounted this somber, wrenching drama about will and will not be forgotten. The performances here are understated with a minimum of histrionics. Perfect for the content. Caleb Ross carried this dream project with him for a very long time. The result is poignant and unforgettable.”

Thank you so much Christopher Stephen Soden for coming out to see the show and for speaking with the creative team after!

“Altogether, Prodigal Son was a strong and viscerally engaging production of the 90-minute play—with special credit to debuting director Caleb Ross, who must have a good ear for the playwright’s quirky, crackling dialogue style.” - Jan Farrington

Thank you so much for coming out Jan!

—Jan Farrington MR. SCHMITT: I want you to look out for him. MR. HOFFMAN: I don’t mind. MR. SCHMITT: He’s the most interesting mess we have this year. Jim Quinn is definitely “a mess”—or at least, a fish out of water at this small Catholic prep school up in the mountains of New Hampshire...

And with that, Prodigal Son comes to a close.

What a special weekend this has been. We want to offer our sincerest thanks to everyone who took the time to come out and support this production. Theatre only exists when people choose to gather together, and we were incredibly lucky to share this story with such warm, reactive, thoughtful, and generous audiences all weekend long. Your laughter, silence, applause, and conversations afterward meant more to us than we can fully express.

To our cast and crew: thank you for the heart, vulnerability, and countless hours you poured into this show. Every rehearsal, every late night, every detail onstage and behind the scenes helped bring this production to life.

To everyone who bought a ticket, shared a post, told a friend, or simply showed up to support local theatre — thank you for making this experience possible. We are endlessly grateful.

Until the next show. ❤️
