Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
directed by Amanda White
This 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning play focuses on the daily lives of the residents of Grover's Corners – the quintessential, American small town – and has grown in reputation through the years as a true American Classic. It winds us through daily life, to love and marriage, and ultimately ends with the very essence of what it means to be human.

Snowed Inn
a DalekoArts original holiday show
by Adam Hummel
directed by Ben Thietje
After failed screenwriter Archie Ježek leaves the glitz and glamour of 1930s Hollywood to return to the small, Minnesota town where he grew up to run the family hotel, his dreams of a quiet, steady Midwestern life quickly devolve to madcap holiday hijinks and mayhem. Featuring a cast of zany characters and silver screen slapstick, Snowed Inn is a family-friendly Christmas card celebrating your favorite classic films and the nostalgia of holidays past.

Stones in His Pockets
by Marie Jones
directed by Sean Byrd
A rural Irish village is turned on its head by the arrival of a film crew from the United States. When Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn are cast as extras in the film, they realize that Hollywood's romanticized Ireland stands in stark contrast to the reality of their day-to-day lives.
Stones in His Pockets features two actors playing all fifteen characters, and won London's Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 2001.
