The 3rd Annual JTC Summer Theatre Festival sold out all performances!
We did 27 performances of 3 productions in 6 weeks.
Once again, JTC’s Summer Theatre Festival has been a smash, and this year was no exception.
The festival began with the hit Marvin Hamlisch-Neil Simon-Carol Bayer Sager musical They’re Playing Our Song. July 19-28
The second show headlined Linda Purl’s return to JTC in Jeffrey Hatcher’s charming comedy Mrs. Mannerly. August 2-11
The festival concluded with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s intimate musical, Tell Me on a Sunday. August 16-25
As always, we performed our Summer Theatre Festival shows in the gorgeous McPherson Theater black box in Wellard Hall at BPAC (Bradshaw Performing Arts Center), where we’re proud to be the Professional Theatre Company in Residence.
We’re also working on the three titles for the 2025 Summer Theatre Festival. Watch this website for the latest news!

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?
