The Comedy of Errors follows two sets of identical twins who were separated years earlier and unknowingly find themselves in the same city.

The creative team also includes Assistant Director and Stage Manager Rob Heighway, Light Designer Eric Matters, Lighting Operator Lori Raffel, Sound Engineer Clay Howard, Costumer Linda Findley Grow, Costume Assistants Scott Fleshood and Angela Osman, Properties by Jen Otterman and Rob Heighway, and Jay Herold is part of the run crew.

The cast includes Logan Laflin as Antipholus of Syracuse, Nathan Haston as Antipholus of Ephesus, Nathaniel Taff as Dromio of Syracuse, Adrian Blackwell as Dromio of Ephesus, Phoebe Aldridge as Adriana, Adriana Menefee as Luciana, David Shaul as Egeon, Jennifer Wagar as Abbess Aemilia, Kevin Caraher as Duke Solinus, Scott Blackwell as Angelo, Kelli Conkin as Merchant, Angela Osman as Courtesan, Aaron Ploof as Pinch, and Rob Heighway as Jailer.
