Once a staple in Olney's season, the summer mystery play makes a comeback after a 25 year hiatus with Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. “No play or genre has been more requested by Olney patrons than Agatha Christie murder mysteries. In response to that demand, we are happy to return the Olney tradition of the summer thriller,” said Artistic Director Jim Petosa.

If you come to Olney Theatre Center from February 13 to March 9, bring a friend, take notes, and be ready to discuss afterward. Doubt: A Parable, a play about the dangers of moral certainty, is in town. "This is a play with a lot of resonance for today," said Director John Going. "It is a play full of interesting suspense – a play to think about and talk about."

Olney Theatre Center brings the musical favorite, Fiddler on the Roof, to the New Mainstage for seven weeks, beginning November 14th. This rich story of love, family, and tradition is the perfect way for Olney to continue its tradition of offering a family friendly musical to the community for the holiday season.

Olney Theatre Center will be staging an updated version of Eubie!, the musical revue highlighting Baltimore native James Hubert "Eubie" Blake's musical legacy. "Blake's music celebrates the African American community's contribution to changing what American music was," says Director/Choreographer and Broadway veteran Tony Parise.
