Join us for the world premiere of Stag Light, one of the winners of the national NewPlayFest 2026 competition! In partnership with the American Association of Community Theaters, we are proud to present Emily Turner’s hilarious, heart-warming story of the Frenel family’s road trip to scatter their late patriarch’s ashes. Players de Noc has worked closely with Turner to bring her playscript and vision to life on the stage. We expect you’ll fall in love with the characters, much as we have in the process learning how to portray them.
