“Rough Crossing” cleverly chronicles a voyage from Italy to New York where a playwriting duo is preparing a new musical for opening. Add in love triangles, misunderstandings, and musical numbers to create a witty and hilarious comedy.

Show times are 8:15 p.m. for Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays.  Ticket prices are $7 for general admission and $5.00 for children and seniors.
