The Complete Works of Jane Austen, Abridged

Jessica Bedford, Kathryn MacMillan, Charlotte Northeast and Meghan Winch

November 14, 2025 - December 7, 2025

A funny, fast-paced romp as three actors take on all of Austen’s beloved heroines, friends, and love interests – and her incisive social satire – in 90 minutes or less. But when they lose a cast member, the two remaining Janeites must teach an understudy about her work. It is a truth universally acknowledged that an audience in possession of high spirits will enjoy this big-hearted comedy that will delight Austen fans and newcomers alike.

Clue

Sandy Rustin

January 9, 2026 - February 1, 2026

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, CLUE is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

This production of CLUE is sponsored by the Donald D Mateer Foundation (family of Chris Dowhan-Bailey).

How We Got On

Idris Goodwin

March 13, 2026 - April 4, 2026

Hank, Julian, and Luann are three talented, determined suburban teens coming of age in the 1980s. Dreaming of fame and fortune in the new Hip-Hop music scene, they must overcome cultural isolation, familial dysfunction, and ruthless rivalries to make the music that defines their lives. Spoken word poet and hip-hop playwright Idris Goodwin gives us an inspiring, theatrical mix tape about how we become the people we’re meant to be, flowing and rhyming our way to adulthood.

Lettice and Lovage

Peter Shaffer

May 8, 2026 - May 31, 2026

A riotous comedy! Lettice Duffet is an indefatigable but daffy enthusiast of history and the theatre. As a tour guide at one of the least stately of London’s stately homes, she theatrically embellishes its historical past. Lotte Schon, a stoic inspector from the Preservation Trust, is neither impressed nor entertained by Lettice’s freewheeling history lessons. What follows is a battle to the death of all that is sacred to the Empire and the crown.
