Season 12 continued on the mainstage
with Herman Wouk’s military masterpiece
THE CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL
Judson Theatre Company’s spring production (April 24-27, 2025) was Herman Wouk’s The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. Directed by JTC’s artistic director Daniel Haley, it marked 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. He was joined by David A. Gregory (One Life to Live, The Good Fight) as Greenwald.
It was also such a pleasure to welcome back some JTC favorites: Jacob Pressley appeared 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 was 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, Rick McDermott was back as Blakely; 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 were Colton Liberatore, Jasper Newell, Hamlin Raith, and Thomas Nash Tetterton.

The melodious hit musical about marriage
I DO! I DO! opens the festival July 11,
the romantic comedy DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE
opens August 1
“My Cup Runneth Over” with melody, laughter, and love!
A musical about marriage from the writers of The Fantasticks (Tom Jones & Harvey Schmidt), I Do! I Do! (July 11-20) is a lively, hilarious, and touching story of two soulmates navigating the perils of life is set to a tuneful, charming score, including “My Cup Runneth Over” and the title song. The story spans 50 years as it focuses on the ups and downs experienced by Agnes and Michael throughout their marriage.
Hang on to your heart!
Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise (August 1-10) is a letter-perfect love story. Two strangers – a military doctor in Oregon and an aspiring actress in New York City – meet by letter during World War II. They dream of being together someday, but the war keeps them apart for years. Will letters be enough to spark a love story? Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Crazy for You) tells the true story of his parents’ courtship during World War II in this new play, signed, sealed, and delivered straight from the heart.
