Synopsis: On our mainstage from Sept. 26 through Oct. 20: An Inspector Calls, J.B. Priestley’s Hitchockian drama filled with timeless suspense. As the well-to-do Birlings celebrate an engagement in the family, the festive evening is suddenly punctured by an uninvited visitor: an inspector looking into the death of a young woman. Questions multiply and guilt mounts, and Inspector Goole’s grim revelations begin to crack the foundations of the Birlings’ comfortable lives. Before long, they are all challenged to examine their decisions and consciences. This enigmatic tale is a plea for a more just society, and a foreboding of the consequences if we fail to attain it. Mark Anderson Phillips directs.

Our 2024-25 season:
The 2024-25 season continues with Kit Wilder and Jeffrey Bracco’s 2014 hit Truce: A Christmas Wish from the Great War, which commemorates the “Christmas Truce” during World War I. January brings Madhuri Shekar’s In Love and Warcraft, a delightfully raunchy romcom; followed by Agatha Christie’s classic mystery The Mousetrap. In May comes Bekah Brunstetter’s The Cake, a comedy about faith, family and frosting. Then City Lights’ summer 2025 musical is Head Over Heels, a love-affirming tale set to the music of The Go-Go’s.
