Two River Theater will present its one-week-only production of The Good Thief starring three-time Tony Award nominee Christopher Fitzgerald (Broadway’s Wicked, Waitress, Spamalot, Young Frankenstein) in the title role. The Good Thief is directed by Artistic Director Justin Waldman (The Old Globe Theater, Circle in the Square), making his Two River directorial debut, and written by Tony Award nominee Conor McPherson (Girl from the North Country, Shining City, The Weir).

The Good Thief runs for one week only, in the Victoria J. Mastrobuono Library from February 4-7, 2026. 

Let’s begin with an incident... Follow three-time Tony Award nominee Christopher Fitzgerald’s gripping confession as a small-time Irish gangster on the run. The Good Thief, by Tony Award nominee Conor McPherson, wields suspense, dark humor, and lyrical storytelling as a “simple job” spirals into chaos.
