And Then There Were None / Play

For Tickets & Info:

And Then There Were None is a stage play by Agatha Christie, a dramatic and suspenseful mystery thriller in which a group of strangers is summoned to a remote mansion on an isolated island under different, carefully crafted invitations. Once they gather, a chilling recorded message accuses each guest of a hidden crime from their past, the kind they believed no one else knew about. As a fierce storm cuts them off from the mainland, the guests begin to fall one by one in a pattern that mirrors the lines of an eerie nursery rhyme displayed throughout the house. With fear rising and suspicions turning everyone against each other, every remaining guest becomes both potential victim and potential culprit. The tension closes in like the walls of the mansion itself, pulling the audience into a psychological maze where guilt and survival twist together and every detail feels like a clue. The story invites viewers to watch the characters unravel under mounting pressure, making each moment a gripping step deeper into a puzzle where trust is dangerous and secrets refuse to stay buried.

Coming Soon

• OPENS JUL 31, 2026 • The Wedding Singer / Musical Big hair, bright suits, bad decisions, and wedding-reception chaos collide in a musical comedy soaked in 1980s sparkle. The story follows a good-hearted entertainer who makes his living turning other people’s big days into dance-floor memories, only to find his own romantic life suddenly knocked off-key. Around him spins a world of banquet halls, shoulder pads, pop dreams, awkward dates, and friends who mean well even when their advice should probably be confiscated at the door. What gives the show its charm is the mix of goofy period energy and genuine sweetness. Beneath the jokes and synth-pop bounce is a tender little question: how do you keep believing in love after embarrassment, disappointment, and one truly spectacular public heartbreak? The musical leans into its retro setting with a wink, but it never forgets the people inside the punchlines. Its comedy has the snap of a reception toast gone sideways, while its romance keeps sneaking in through the back door. It is fizzy, fast, and full of heart, the kind of stage confection that makes neon feel romantic and a microphone feel like a second chance.
• OPENS OCT 2, 2026 • Bye Bye Birdie / Musical Bye Bye Birdie, a musical comedy by Michael Stewart (book), with music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Lee Adams, spins a playful tale set in a small American town suddenly thrown into chaos when a rock-and-roll superstar’s big publicity stunt lands right in its backyard. As the town prepares for a nationally broadcast farewell performance before the singer leaves for military service, everyday routines unravel in the most amusing ways. Teenagers swoon, parents panic, and a nervous songwriter tries to keep everything from falling apart while juggling his own dreams and frustrations. The story leans into the clash between youthful energy and adult expectations, blending humor, heart, and a nostalgic snapshot of early pop-culture mania. What makes the musical so engaging is the way normal people react to unexpected fame brushing up against their quiet lives, creating a lively mixture of misunderstandings, big personalities, and warm moments that never feel forced. Rather than relying on shock or melodrama, the show builds its charm through relatable emotions and playful tension, inviting the audience into a world where celebrity fever shakes loose hidden hopes, old habits, and the possibility of fresh starts for everyone involved.
• OPENS DEC 18, 2026 • Holiday Happening / Variety Show Seasonal cheer takes the stage in a warm, homespun showcase built around music, community, and the kind of December glow that makes people hum in the car afterward. The evening is less about plot and more about atmosphere: familiar songs, cheerful surprises, local performers, and a festive spirit that feels like opening a box of ornaments and finding a few forgotten favorites inside. Expect a blend of traditional holiday numbers and popular seasonal tunes, presented with a friendly, family-minded touch rather than glossy big-city spectacle. The pleasure is in the variety, the voices, the shared nostalgia, and the sense that everyone in the room has been invited to join the celebration, even from their seat. It is the sort of event where simple staging can still feel generous because the real decoration is the human one: singers, young performers, familiar melodies, and a community leaning into the softer side of winter. There is room for sentiment, a wink of surprise, and the gentle comfort of songs people know by heart. Think cozy, tuneful, and bright, with enough sparkle to send audiences back into the night smiling.
