Season 12 continues on the mainstage
with Herman Wouk’s military masterpiece
THE CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL
Judson Theatre Company’s spring production (April 24-27, 2025) will be Herman Wouk’s The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. Directed by JTC’s artistic director Daniel Haley, it marks the return of Emmy Award winner John Wesley Shipp (The Flash, Dawson’s Creek) to the Judson stage in the iconic role of Captain Queeg. He was last on our stage in 2016(!) in Twelve Angry Men. Joining him will be David A. Gregory (One Life to Live, The Good Fight) as Greenwald.
We’re also happy to welcome back some JTC favorites: Jacob Pressley will appear in his first mainstage show; he’s previously been our leading man in the Summer Theatre Festival productions of They’re Playing Our Song, The Last Five Years, and Gutenberg! The Musical. Matthew Tyler will be back for his fifth mainstage show, having been seen in And Then There Were None, Witness for the Prosecution, The Mousetrap, and Gaslight. After a multi-year absence from our stage, we will also welcome Rick McDermott back; he’s appeared in more shows at JTC than any other actor: Twelve Angry Men, And Then There Were None, The Sunshine Boys, The Miracle Worker, and Witness for the Prosecution.
Making their JTC debuts are Collin Conway, Colton Liberatore, and Thomas Nash Tetterton. Additional casting to be announced at a later date.

Season 12 kicked off with our fourth Agatha Christie production
MURDER ON THE NILE
It’s a honeymoon cruise where every passenger has a motive to kill!
Murder on the Nile, Agatha Christie’s own staging of her famous novel, Death on the Nile, is set on a paddle steamer cruising the legendary Nile River in 1940’s Egypt. The passengers aboard are abuzz when a famous heiress and her penniless new husband board the ship. Class, money and reputation are all at stake in one way or another for the passengers, and before they know it deceit, theft and murder quickly make waves on the river. There’s a spurned lover, a protective uncle, a troubled German doctor, and a host of colorful and mysterious characters add to the drama and suspense of this classic Agatha Christie mystery.
Who can be trusted? Who holds the truth? Who is a suspect? Whodunit?
