Each of us has a way of understanding what words mean from our unique perspective. “One Way” is your way – not what the dictionary or thesaurus say, but what you think or experience when you hear that word and this time, the word is AGENCY. This gathering allows you to share your point of view and hear others. The discussion that follows helps us grow in mutual appreciation and respect. Group size is limited. Suggested Donation of $15 supports our ministry.

Directed by Don Carrier. Studio Theater, May 29 through June 28, 2026. Presented in arrangement with Dramatist Play Service&nbsp;
Three misfit high school students in Salem, Oregon form a unique debate club, complete with a musical version of The Crucible, an unusual podcast, and a plot to take down their corrupt drama teacher. With his signature wit, playwright Karam follows the trio's attempts to fend off the menace of encroaching adulthood with edgy humor and subversive antics. 



"Stephen Karam's savvy comedy is bristling with vitality, wicked humor, terrific dialogue, and adirect pipeline into the zeitgeist of contemporary youth" -- David Rooney, Variety

“Hilarious...Speech &amp; Debate’s real accomplishment is its picture of the borderland between late adolescence and adulthood, where grown-up ideas and ambition coexist with childish will and bravado...We never feel we’re being educated, just immensely entertained.” – Caryn James, New York Times

Book by Tina Fey, lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). Adapted from Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls.
Directed by Scott Spence, Musical direction by Larry Goodpaster, and choreography by Lauren Marousek. Senney Theater. July 10 to August 9, 2026 with Thursdays July 23, 30, and August 6, 2026. Presented in arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). 

Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. We have all experienced some “Plastics” in our lives. Cady Heron grew up on an African savanna, but nothing could prepare her for the wild and malicious ways of her strange adventure in suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to popularity? By taking on frenemies led by the charming but cutting Regina George. Cady learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.

"...Mean Girls is a marvel." - Entertainment Weekly
