2026-2027 Theatre Season
Three Great Shows!
This year Oak Ridge Theatre will produce a fall play, a spring musical, and a late spring production--our Healy One Act Festival. All of our shows feature student performers and technical artists and are staged in our Oak Ridge Theatre. Ticket links are posted a month before shows open. Advance ticket purchase is recommended as shows often sell out.
Fall Play
The Game's Afoot; or Holmes for the Holidays
A comedic mystery play by Ken Ludwig.
Breathtaking mystery and high hilarity in equal parts, this play tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, who has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he’s Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears.
The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.
Show runs November 5-14, 2026.
A true story based on the DreamWorks hit film. Book by Terrence McNally; score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager, Frank Abagnale, Jr., runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer – living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. When Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, though, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.
Show opens early March 2027.
Spring Musical
Catch Me If You Can
Healy One Act Festival
In honor of John P. Healy Jr., Oak Ridge hosts three nights of one act play performances each spring, directed and performed by drama students. Ticket sales benefit the Healy Scholarship fund.
