MACT

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, throw in a dash of Monty Python, and you get The 39 Steps—a fast-paced whodunit bursting with theatrical magic! This award-winning comedy features nonstop laughs, more than 150 outrageous characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), an onstage plane crash, missing fingers, and just the right amount of romance.

Toad of Toad Hall is an eccentric but likable chap given to ’crazes.’ His latest craze involves motorcars. Unfortunately, he smashes them up as fast as he gets them. He even steals one for a wild ride over the countryside. Naturally, this gets him into a great deal of trouble. His dear friends Badger, Rat, and Mole do their best to help, but their efforts aren’t enough, and Toad ends up in prison… after an uproarious courtroom scene. His imprisonment couldn’t please his enemies, the weasels, more. They quickly take over Toad Hall and trash the place. Meanwhile, the jailer’s daughter, Polly, thinks Toad is an exceptional fellow and helps him escape dressed as a washerwoman! On his way back home, he has a wild adventure with a barge owner who is horrified to discover the washerwoman is actually a toad. When Toad finally meets up with his friends again, they devise a clever scheme to recapture Toad Hall from the weasels in another wild scene. Performances: Jan. 30-Feb. 1 & Feb. 5-8

Book by Sandy Rustin (based on the film by Jonathan Lynn) 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 whodunnit? 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.

In a whirlwind musical travelogue, our ordinary, everyday ten-year-old has the bulletin board on the wall above his bed come loose and fall right on top of him and then he wakes up the next morning flat. Stanley Lambchop must now scour the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. They are stamped, posted and cancelled from Hollywood and France to Honolulu and beyond. Join us and The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley JR. to find out if Stanley is able to become a three-dimensional boy ever again. Based on the beloved children’s book series written by Jeff Brown.

The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all. Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s book embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel.

Three one-act plays from the Provincetown Players, with additional material by Minnesota playwright James Lundy.​ In the summer of 1915, a restless collection of Greenwich Village artists gathered in the cool seaside air of Provincetown, Massachusetts—writers, dreamers, and social radicals determined to create something new. Their experiments sparked the Provincetown Players—and triggered a revolution in American theater. Playing Provincetown recaptures those debut performances at the Wharf Theater through three one-act plays that express the wit, courage, and social insight of their time. ​Constancy by Neith Boyce (1915) Set in a modest seaside cottage, Constancy explores fidelity and the shifting expectations of love at a time when women were beginning to claim new freedoms. The play centers on Moira, an artist who challenges traditional gender roles, and her lover, Rex, a writer wrestling with jealousy and self-importance. Their conversation—part flirtation, part philosophical duel—reveals the tension between artistic ideals and human frailty. Boyce, herself a novelist and suffragist, crafts a battle of intellect and emotion that mirrors the early feminist conversations stirring in Greenwich Village. Beneath its civilized tone, Constancy asks a timeless question: can love survive equality? ​ Suppressed Desires by Susan Glaspell and George Cram “Jig” Cook (1915) A sharp, comedic send-up of the era’s obsession with psychoanalysis, Suppressed Desires follows a well-intentioned wife who tries to improve her marriage by diagnosing everyone around her. Henrietta Brewster, newly converted to Freud’s theories, is determined to unearth her husband Stephen’s hidden complexes—whether he has any or not. Her relentless probing drives both Stephen and her visiting sister to the brink of madness. With brisk dialogue and biting humor, Glaspell and Cook expose how intellectual fashion can distort genuine human connection. The play’s humor still resonates today, poking fun at our eternal tendency to self-analyze, overthink, and project meaning where there may be none. ​Trifles by Susan Glaspell (1916) In Trifles, Glaspell moves from satire to suspense. Inspired by a real murder case she once covered as a journalist, the play examines the quiet power of observation—and the silent worlds of women. When a farmer is found dead, two women accompany the sheriff and county attorney to the crime scene. As the men search for evidence, dismissing the “trifles” of domestic life, the women uncover the emotional truth behind the killing. Glaspell’s masterful use of subtext transforms what seems like a simple investigation into a profound indictment of gendered justice. A century later, Trifles remains a cornerstone of American drama and an early landmark of feminist storytelling. ​ Together, these three short plays chart the birth of a new voice in theater—intimate, socially conscious, and unafraid to question the structures of power. Playing Provincetown returns these voices to the stage, reminding us that artistic revolutions often begin not in grand theaters, but in a wharf by the sea.

Nunsense is habit-forming! It’s about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God.

With catchy songs and irreverent comedy, Nunsense will keep you rolling with laughter.

Three one-act plays from the Provincetown Players, with additional material by Minnesota playwright James Lundy.​ In the summer of 1915, a restless collection of Greenwich Village artists gathered in the cool seaside air of Provincetown, Massachusetts—writers, dreamers, and social radicals determined to create something new. Their experiments sparked the Provincetown Players—and triggered a revolution in American theater. Playing Provincetown recaptures those debut performances at the Wharf Theater through three one-act plays that express the wit, courage, and social insight of their time. ​Constancy by Neith Boyce (1915) Set in a modest seaside cottage, Constancy explores fidelity and the shifting expectations of love at a time when women were beginning to claim new freedoms. The play centers on Moira, an artist who challenges traditional gender roles, and her lover, Rex, a writer wrestling with jealousy and self-importance. Their conversation—part flirtation, part philosophical duel—reveals the tension between artistic ideals and human frailty. Boyce, herself a novelist and suffragist, crafts a battle of intellect and emotion that mirrors the early feminist conversations stirring in Greenwich Village. Beneath its civilized tone, Constancy asks a timeless question: can love survive equality? ​ Suppressed Desires by Susan Glaspell and George Cram “Jig” Cook (1915) A sharp, comedic send-up of the era’s obsession with psychoanalysis, Suppressed Desires follows a well-intentioned wife who tries to improve her marriage by diagnosing everyone around her. Henrietta Brewster, newly converted to Freud’s theories, is determined to unearth her husband Stephen’s hidden complexes—whether he has any or not. Her relentless probing drives both Stephen and her visiting sister to the brink of madness. With brisk dialogue and biting humor, Glaspell and Cook expose how intellectual fashion can distort genuine human connection. The play’s humor still resonates today, poking fun at our eternal tendency to self-analyze, overthink, and project meaning where there may be none. ​Trifles by Susan Glaspell (1916) In Trifles, Glaspell moves from satire to suspense. Inspired by a real murder case she once covered as a journalist, the play examines the quiet power of observation—and the silent worlds of women. When a farmer is found dead, two women accompany the sheriff and county attorney to the crime scene. As the men search for evidence, dismissing the “trifles” of domestic life, the women uncover the emotional truth behind the killing. Glaspell’s masterful use of subtext transforms what seems like a simple investigation into a profound indictment of gendered justice. A century later, Trifles remains a cornerstone of American drama and an early landmark of feminist storytelling. ​ Together, these three short plays chart the birth of a new voice in theater—intimate, socially conscious, and unafraid to question the structures of power. Playing Provincetown returns these voices to the stage, reminding us that artistic revolutions often begin not in grand theaters, but in a wharf by the sea.

The play’s humor still resonates today, poking fun at our eternal tendency to self-analyze, overthink, and project meaning where there may be none. ​Trifles by Susan Glaspell (1916) In Trifles, Glaspell moves from satire to suspense. Inspired by a real murder case she once covered as a journalist, the play examines the quiet power of observation—and the silent worlds of women. When a farmer is found dead, two women accompany the sheriff and county attorney to the crime scene. As the men search for evidence, dismissing the “trifles” of domestic life, the women uncover the emotional truth behind the killing. Glaspell’s masterful use of subtext transforms what seems like a simple investigation into a profound indictment of gendered justice. A century later, Trifles remains a cornerstone of American drama and an early landmark of feminist storytelling. ​ Together, these three short plays chart the birth of a new voice in theater—intimate, socially conscious, and unafraid to question the structures of power. Playing Provincetown returns these voices to the stage, reminding us that artistic revolutions often begin not in grand theaters, but in a wharf by the sea.

The 2026 10-Minute Play Festival The beloved 10-Minute Play Festival returns for the 2025–2026 Season in an exciting new partnership between Century College Playhouse and Lakeshore Players Theatre.
