The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie

Directed by Ron Newell

Show Dates: 9/12/2025 - 10/5/2025, with talk backs with director and cast
on 9/13/2025 & 9/21/2025

Agatha Christie’s iconic murder mystery is the world’s most successful and
longest-running play. After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff
at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon
becomes clear that the killer is among them and the seven strangers grow
increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on
skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a
spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped
to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car
has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for
everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate,
culminating in a brilliant surprise finish.


The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon

Directed by Curt Arnold

Show Dates: 11/14/2025 - 12/14/2025, with talk backs with director and cast
on 11/15/2025 & 11/23/2025

A companion play to last year’s Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, this
year’s The Wickhams takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters
during the same Christmas celebration. The no-nonsense housekeeper Mrs.
Reynolds, eager new maid Cassie, and lovesick footman Brian are busy with
holiday preparations. But their work is interrupted by the clandestine
midnight arrival of Mr. Wickham – Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr.
Darcy’s sworn enemy (who definitely was not invited). The Wickhams is a
charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the
generosity of forgiveness.


Maytag Virgin by Audrey Cefaly

Directed by Rose Leininger

Show Dates: 1/30/2026 - 2/22/2026, with talk backs with director and cast
on 1/31/2026 & 2/8/2026

A classic love story by southern regionalist Audrey Cefaly, Maytag Virgin
follows Alabama school teacher Lizzy Nash and her new neighbor, Jack Key,
over the year following the tragic death of Lizzy’s husband. The play
explores the ideas of inertia and self-enlightenment, and the bridge
between the two.


Lettice and Lovage by Peter Shaffer

Directed by David Vegh

Show Dates: 3/27/2026 - 4/19/2026, with talk backs with director and cast
on 3/28/2026 & 4/5/2026

Lettice Duffet is an indefatigable but daffy enthusiast of history and the
theatre. As a tour guide at Fustian House, she theatrically embellishes its
historical past, ultimately coming up on the radar of Lotte Schon, an
inspector from the Preservation Trust. The two start a curious friendship,
resulting in an epic battle of historical theatrics, quirky make-believe,
and possible criminal charges. A show that proves that opposites do attract
— or, at least, agree to reenact some history together.


Ordinary Days Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon

Directed by Anne McEvoy

Show Dates: 5/22/2026 - 6/14/2026, with talk backs with director and cast
on 5/23/2026 & 5/31/2026

Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives
intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love, and cabs.
Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring
startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone
who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place.
With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million
individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a
unique and extraordinary home.
