On July 18th, for one night only the PMRP will reprise our Arisia 2025 Gender Swapped Star Trek performance of “The Menagerie.”

After hearing of an accident involving her former captain, Christina Pike, Ms. Spock commandeers the Enterprise to return to the site of a past mission for mysterious reasons.

The show starts at 8PM. Attendance is free. Donations greatly appreciated! The performance will be at the George Dilboy VFW Post 529, 351 Summer Street, Somerville, MA 02144 (in Davis Square, a short walk from what used to be Grace Church where most of our events have been performed).

Congratulations to the cast and crew of PMRP’s summer mystery show, Bullets over Boston, featuring adaptations of two Dashiell Hammett radio classics! Performances will be the last weekend in July and the first weekend in August.

First, it’s hard-boiled parody in “The Adventures of Samantha Spade!” a gender flipped version of the 1940s radio series “The Adventures of Sam Spade!” In this episode detective Samantha has been framed for murdering the owner of the private schooner, the Steve Starr!

And in “After the Thin Man!”, we recreate the Lux Radio Theater broadcast of 1940 as murder hits close to home! Nick and Nora Charles investigate the murder of Robert Landis, the finance of Nora’s cousin Selma.

Come see our spring show, “Dangerous Adventures”, featuring three thrilling tales of adventure:

• In Jaimie Carlson’s original gender-swapped adaptation of the classic story “The Most Dangerous Game”, a big-game hunter washes ashore on a mysterious island and winds up in another hunt — but this time as prey!
• In Michael McAfee’s new fantasy adventure, “Townies and Dragons: Barrel Full of Peril”, four friends just want to get some drinks after work, but in a world of might and magic, adventure can happen at any time!
• And in Robert J LeBlanc’s The Bonnie Tales of Captain Bellamy: Song of Trickery, a pirate captain and her crew seek their fortune on the high seas (but if their fortune isn’t available, they’ll settle for someone else’s)!

Tickets and reservations are now available on our Tickets page! Performances will be April 25–May 6 in Davis Square!
