TWELVE ANGRY MEN
by Reginald Rose
September 11 to October 10, 2010

Question everything

An underprivileged youth accused of murdering his father faces death by the electric chair. The 12 jurors at his trial must decide his fate but there can only be one verdict. When one diligent juror questions the quick judgment of the collective, the members of the jury have to face how their own perceptions and prejudices affect their view of the truth.

THE 39 STEPS
by Patrick Barlow
From the novel by John Buchan
From the movie by Alfred Hitchcock
And an original concept by Nobby Dimon and Simon Corble
November 13 to December 12, 2010

The hilarious Broadway hit!

It is 1914, Europe is close to war and intrigue is everywhere. When a beautiful spy is murdered, Richard Hannay must stay one step ahead of the police, the killers, and a jealous husband in a quest to prove his innocence. With four actors playing over one hindered and fifty characters, The 39 Steps is packed with nonstop laughs, a thrilling chase on top of a train, handcuffs, bagpipes, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance.

NEVERMORE
The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe
Conceived by Jonathan Christensen and Bretta Gerecke

A gothic tale told in song

They say truth is stranger than fiction. In the case of Edgar Allan Poe this couldn't be truer. Echoes of his work are fused with music in this enthralling, fantastical, visually stunning biography, revealing the psychology of the man whose haunting, darkly comic writings resonate in each of our tell-tale hearts.

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
by Agatha Christie
March 5 to April 3, 2011`

The past can come back to haunt you

Ten people, each with something to hide and something to fear, are invited to a lonely mansion on Soldier Island by a host who, surprisingly, fails to appear. On the island, they are cut off from everything but each other and the inescapable shadows of their own past lives. One by one, the guests share their darkest secrets. And one by one, they begin to die.

DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher
from the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
April 30 to May 29, 2011
Divided we fall
Evil lurks in the dark and dismal streets of London as a terrified community struggles to understand the deaths occurring under the cloak of darkness. At the same time, respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll isn't quite himself, displaying increasingly alarming and erratic behaviour. Can the good doctor cure the evil? And how much longer can he keep it at bay?
