2024-25 Theatre Season
Three Great Shows!
Every year Oak Ridge Theatre produces a fall musical, a spring play, 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.

Murder on the Orient Express
Famous detective Hercule Poirot is called back from Istanbul to London on urgent business. While aboard the Orient Express, Poirot meets a host of peculiar characters: an aging Russian princess, her Swedish companion, a Hungarian countess, a Minnesota housewife, a Scottish colonel, an English governess, a French conductor, a disagreeable American businessman, and his anxious secretary. While aboard the train, the angry businessman, Samuel Ratchett, corners Poirot and demands Poirot to investigate a series of ominous letters that have been sent to Ratchett, threatening his life.
As a snowdrift halts the Orient Express in its tracks, Ratchett is found stabbed multiple times in his locked train compartment. Poirot is tasked by Monsieur Bouc to solve the murder, as the killer could still be in their midst.
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.
