Agatha Christie is the unrivaled Queen of Mystery in her masterpiece, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island where the only thing they have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate… for each has been marked for death. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, what do the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme about “Ten Little Soldier Boys” mean, and can someone prevent a bloodbath before each of the guests is brutally murdered? A perfect combination of thriller and detective story, you’ll find that you cannot escape from its harrowing conclusion.

PERFORMANCE DATES: Feb. 20 – March 20, 2027

It’s 1969, the peak of the Black Power movement, in August Wilson’s mature and intimate take on those turbulent times, TWO TRAINS RUNNING. Memphis Lee’s coffee shop lies in Pittsburgh’s Hill District and serves as a hangout for a host of regulars: Wolf, a numbers runner; Risa, a laconic waitress tired of unwanted attention; Sterling, just released for bank robbery; and Hambone, who can’t let go that he was cheated out of a ham. When the city threatens to raze the restaurant in the name of “urban renewal,” can the lofty ideals of the sixties support the reality of Black hardship in a community on the brink of change?

PERFORMANCE DATES: April 3 – May 1, 2027

In THE CRUCIBLE, Arthur Miller created one of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon. Set during the turmoil of the Salem witch trials, the story focuses on a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant woman who causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings her to court to admit the lie, but instead finds himself accused of witchcraft, along with a host of others, as fear and opportunism consume the town. Written during the height of the Communist “witch hunts,” this exciting drama about Puritan hysteria is a gripping and timely parable of our contemporary society.

PERFORMANCE DATES: May 15 – June 12, 2027

A blissfully funny comedy set in the world of 1940s New York, GLORIOUS! tells the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, an enthusiastic soprano whose pitch was far from perfect. Known as “the first lady of the sliding scale,” she warbled and screeched her way through a performance to an audience who fell down with laughter. Delusional and joyously happy, Miss Jenkins paid little attention to her critics, supported by a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was. But when the chance to play Carnegie Hall comes up, will it be the ultimate triumph, or proof that her vision of musical glory was only in her own mind?
