THE GHOST TRAIN

by Arnold Ridley

Directed by Christopher Gomez & Sej Patel

We are opening our 42nd season with a classic thriller that has enraptured audiences for decades!  The story involves a party of assorted railway travelers who find themselves stranded in the waiting room of an isolated country station. The station master warns them of the impending danger of a spectral passenger train - one that fatally wrecked in the locality several years before - that sometimes haunts the line at night, bringing death to all who set eyes upon it. Will the travelers heed the warning and leave…or stay and face the consequences?  A long-running success in London and on Broadway, this classic suspense play is packed with thrills, chills and laughter.  In other words, the perfect way to start an exciting new year of theater at CCT!

THE FULL MONTY

Book by Terrence McNally

Music & Lyrics by David Yazbeck

Directed by Toni Lynd

We’re getting cheeky with our spring musical this year, as CCT goes The Full Monty! Based on the hit film of the same name, The Full Monty follows the fortunes of six unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York with no jobs, money or prospects, who decide to make some quick cash by forming their own act - a team of male strippers with ‘real man’ bodies!  As the men prepare for their big performance, they face their own fears and insecurities about what it means to be men, husbands and fathers. Featuring a script by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Terrence McNally (Kiss of the Spiderwoman), and a tuneful score by Tony winner David Yazbek (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), The Full Monty is raucous fun, with a ton of heart and humor – and you’ll be cheering on these lovable misfits as they strut their stuff and “let it go!”      

*Recommended for ages 13+

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK

by Wendy Kesselman

Directed by Cindi East

The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most famous and haunting stories to emerge from the 20th Century. The memoirs of this young Jewish girl, forced to hide for nearly two years to escape Nazi persecution, are an essential part of how we remember one of the darkest periods of human history. Wendy Kesselman’s new, acclaimed adaptation of the original script draws from previously unpublished parts of Anne Frank’s real-life diary, allowing the audience to experience Anne in a way that breathes life into this passionate, complex young woman as she and her family try to stay alive in Nazi-occupied Germany. Anne’s dynamism, luminous spirit, and story of resilience continue to resonate deeply, making The Diary of Anne Frank a vital, engrossing and necessary piece of historical theater that has only gotten more relevant in our current world.
