Desperate Housewives of Shakespeare
Desperate Housewives of Shakespeare
by Jane & Jim Jeffries
Thu September 10, 2026 - Mon September 14, 2026
a Broadway Our Way Youth Theatre production
Okay, these housewives may not be real, but they are desperate. Shakespeare has been manipulating and twisting their lives for six plays now, and they desperately want to escape his evil machinations. But are they desperate enough to commit murder? Shakespeare has been found dead: stabbed, poisoned, starved, choked, bitten by an asp, and even turned into a baardvark. Lady Macbeth, Juliet, Kate, Rosalind, Cleopatra, and Titania all had the means and the motive to kill Shakespeare, but who really did it? This comic tragedy (or is that tragic comedy?) has all of the action of a Shakespearean play but with none of those angsty monologues about the meaning of life.

presented by Poetry Under No King
September 16, 2026 @ 7:00 pm
Hello Slammers!
We are excited to announce that we will be doing our showcase event, on September 16th at 7pm @ GLM.
This event is raising money for RLT and GLM as a thank you for giving us the space. It is a hard time for all arts organizations right now so come out and support.
We did increase the price of the event to 10 dollars, but that is operating on a sliding scale, so its whatever you can afford, we understand this is a hard time for everyone.
There will be some truly gifted poetry being shared. The line up is insane so get ready, bring your bestie, and your emotional support water bottle! You aren't going to want to miss this!
As always tell your Friends, Family and Favorite houseplants!
We will see you there!

Highschool sweethearts, Brad Majors and Janet, are stranded during a storm with a flat tire, and find the spooky house of transgender scientist, Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Brad and Janet encounter a mansion full of strange individuals as their innocence fades. Frank-N-Furter then presents their most recent creation, a strong hunk named "Rocky," with intricate dances and rock tunes. The show is renowned for its vibrant audience participation, where fans shout lines and interact with the film using various props (e.g., rice, newspapers, toast.)

Kevin and Jimmy have been married for just over a year. Their life is pretty perfect, just check out their Instagram…no problems here! In fact, Kevin’s carefully curated couples content is all totally real and definitely not performative. Between posting, day jobs, the gym, and Jimmy’s auditions, they spend time with their married friends, David and Benji, whose 25 year age gap is starting to cause issues…but nothing that can’t be solved with the help of their therapist. The couples’ lives intertwine as they work to keep up appearances, find success, and navigate the intricacies of marriage. Oh, and maybe hide a few secrets.

Greg’s been so good: he recycles, eats right, loves his wife, and has only a slightly uncomfortable relationship with his grown-up kid. But when he’s faced with a terminal illness, he becomes obsessed with climate change and the fate of the planet while his wife and child try to cope with their own worlds ending. This play about grief—and cringe-y family dinners, and lawnmowers, and Greta Thunberg, and gay bars, and awkward support groups—is an exquisitely touching and hilarious story that anyone who’s ever lost a loved one (or laughed at a funeral) can relate to.
