A Sleep of Prisoners
A Sleep of Prisoners
By Christopher Fry
March 7 – March 23, 2025
“Where, in the maze of right and wrong, are we to do what action?” Four prisoners of war are locked in a church in enemy territory. Deprived of food, water, rest and distractions, each man is drawn deeper into his own struggles and those of his cellmates. Reality dissolves into a dream where the men play figures from the Bible in a story of obedience, rebellion, violence and peace. “One of the most interesting examples of contemporary religious drama.” — Journal of the English Association

Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley
This sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice was a hit last season, so we’re bringing it back with the original cast and staging! Set two years after the novel ends, Miss Bennet continues the narrative, but with studious middle-sister Mary at the center of family misunderstandings that lead to conflict and hilarity. Can a Christmas gathering at Pemberley and a surprise guest restore peace and introduce new possibilities? Don’t miss what our patrons called an “uplifting, joyful and flawless” production.

The House by the Stable
C.S. Lewis remarked that his friend Charles Williams wrote the sort of stories “in which we begin by saying, let us suppose that this everyday world were at some point invaded by the marvelous.” The House by the Stable dramatizes the struggle of good and evil, personifying the forces that grapple for an upper hand—including Man, Pride, Gabriel and Hell—and the God who humbles them all. Enter a truthful and comedic fantasy, told by a 20th century master of the genre.

The Agitators
Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony were friends — and adversaries — for forty-five years. From their beginning in Rochester, through a civil war, and to the highest halls of government, The Agitators depicts their individual and interpersonal commitments to justice, their support of each other, and the disagreements that nearly destroyed their relationship. “Theater at its best. Teaching us, challenging us, reminding us of where we’ve been, where we are and how far we still have to go.” – Cedar Rapids Gazette

Holmes And Watson
September 15, 2022
By Jeffrey Hatcher
Directed by Elaine Wyler
June 9 – June 25, 2023
If you think there aren’t any new stories about Sherlock Holmes, think again! The great detective did go over the falls at Reichenbach with his nemesis Professor Moriarty. But Holmes’ body was never retrieved, and so it is no surprise when a telegram arrives informing Watson that three men, each claiming to be the famous sleuth, have been committed to a remote asylum. Now Watson must discover if one of the mad men is the real Sherlock Holmes. “A truly smashing play full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.” –TalkinBroadway.com

We Will Not Be Silent
By David Meyers
March 10 – March 26, 2023
February 18th, 1943. 21-year-old Sophie Scholl is arrested for her involvement in the
White Rose, a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. David Meyers’ play
recreates the interrogation that tests all she believes. “There [is] nothing to do. Hitler
cannot be stopped,” Scholl’s interrogator states. “Only because Germany is made of
men like you,” she replies. We Will Not Be Silent is a stunning testimony of faith and a
historical account with new urgency for this moment.

The Jeweler’s Shop
“The One we seek by chance has the face of the love which already entangles our existence. They are all in Him.” Andrew and Teresa’s encounter at a jeweler’s shop expands into a poetic and generational drama with entrancing atmosphere, meditating on the ways we look for God in one another. Written by Karol Wojtyla, who co-founded the cultural resistance movement Rhapsodic Theatre and later became Pope John Paul II, The Jeweler’s Shop is a play for anyone who seeks love – new, old and young.
